   Is a 32-bit version of DOS, viable or desirable?
   Is it possible to change DOS in a way that all the non-RAM above 640K
can be moved somewhere else and that DOS can execute in a flat memory model?
   I would like to be able to declare arrays larger than 64KB and be able to
do 32-bit disk accesses.
   Would it be possible to run 16-bit DOS underneath such engine?
   I would not like the added complexity of OS/2 or Windows, just a true
32-bit DOS.
