I think I'll start out with EuOS simple first. A file manager and text
editor and icons for them, and then build from there.

An alternative Windows-type "shell" for DOS might be a good idea.

First I'll make it in Eu and see how it goes. I do have Borland C++ ya
know...

To Hawke:

That would be obsurd to start out with all that  And besides, who needs
DirectX? DOS is more powerful than Win95 anyhew.

To Carl:

Thanks for the tip (the floppy booting one).

I'll probably see what happens I guess. Does anyone here know how to make
disk images? 

There is this OS called FreeDOS, and it's compatible with MS-DOS, but it's
FREE!
I think I'll try to make it to take advantage of FreeDOS features, but keep
in tune with MS-DOS. That'll bring down the price...

Win98 is like $120+ dollars. What I want is the price to be like $20.00 or
cheaper.
If Micro$oft gets scared (never know, if it's a big success), they'll
probably offer me like $200 million for rights to the software anyways 

Anyone can help with this. We can basically toss some code around, glue 'em
together, and make a buck 

If anyone else DOES help, maybe we should have a company like THE EUPHORIA
GROUP or something equally Fortune 500ic 

Besides, we'd have 200+ great minded programmers who don't rely on C/C++
for much (except me, I use them all the time .

LONG LIVE EUPHORIA!
