No, it DID exist. In fact I have the CD. And I bought it in a bookshop near the fountain in Aachen. I made an ISO of it and can upload it to my website. If you, or anyone else, is interested, email me and I will send the link. You find my email addres at http://www.baltissen.org/newhtm/email.htm

I never said it is a bad idea or wrong. My personal opinion is that a MS-DOS clone should be written in assembly, that's all. And I do understand C, I just don't like it.
