DOS ain't dead

64-bit DOS (Announce)

I think 64bit DOS has quite low importance. There already was established XMS extension to access >4GB memory using HIMEMSX. And it also needs to rework current programs to utilitze this extra memory. There are not so many such new apps - I know about only 2, the modified ramdisk and HDAplay. And there's aslo 64-bit NDN DOS version (but it excludes usage in v86 mode). Maybe someone will find a special use case for utilize >4GB memory but recent years didn't show much interesting in this field.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
