Thanks again for your help, it is greatly appreciated. > If you like VB, you may wish to check out FreeBASIC (which uses > DJGPP's C lib and can intermix with it). I like it but after C#, C++ its hard to go back. Its like developing web apps I feel like my hands are tied. But I'll still check it out. LOL > Hopefully that's MS-DOS 7.x since I consider FreeDOS better than 6.22 > in 90% of everything (e.g. FAT32). All I have is 6.21 and 6.22 (with problems on one those disks) :( I'll see if I can get MSDos 7.x on ebay. You think the multi-tasking is going to be an impossible hurdle or just a big one? I know that plain dos doesn't have it. I was hoping that I could find something to learn from, branch, or pic up. I, not knowing much about it, was thinking, that such a thing could be added to an existing memory manager or even loaded after and run like a daemon\tsr. Or is the only way a kernal tweak? Cause I would like to be able to from the desktop, start dos programs on a separate thread with there own autoexec.bat etc if need be. and be able to minmize the window/terminal and suspend execution. plus if the dos program crashes then have the desktop kill it. plus have different parts of the desktop manager running on threads, and if a thread crashes freezes kill and restart. (like the philosophy of Minix 3 os) I know that what I want to do is pretty lofty and prob very difficult but I figure that even with those goals in mind. If I design the framework correctly I can add later, or better yet once I have the basics down find someone with the talent and interest in assisting. Shoot for mars and if I only make the moon thats good too. ~theMouse
