I have played around with the version from 2.2-RELEASE some days now. I am going to look at the Linux doscmd code as well, it seems to be further developed. Some questions: * In the 2.2 sources a VGA bios is mentioned as being worked on. What is its status ? * Mouse support seems to be partially done, is this the current version or is work ongoing there ? * XMS support is started too, what is the status ? * Anybody thought about EMS (LIM EMS 4.0) emulation ? * Is it planned to have DPMI support, it would enable a wide variety of newer and powerful DOS programs to run ? * Graphics (VESA ?) support, I think this is connected to the first question about the VGA BIOS above ? * Graphics support inside the X11 Window is not planned, according to the TODO list. I realize it would be rather slow, but I think it could be done. Is there a place where to get actual sources, or some mechanism to send back changes/additions to the code ?
