I have tossed in the sponge on Windows.  There is just too much stuff in
the way preventing me from getting the machine to do the work I need done.

I had planned to purge Windows 98 from my machine and "step up" to my old
16 bit DOS 3.1 and BASIC 7.0 compiler when I came across Euphoria and
DOS32.  I need direct access to memory since I map external hardware
settings directly into small sections of the computer's memory to avoid the
overhead of serial communications.  I don't think I'll ever need more than
the 640k but having access to more memory means I don't have to worry about
running out of it.  So after purging Windows what do I need to get this
thing running.  Some DOS32 systems seem to require a 16 bit DOS system - or
is there a stand alone system available?  Whos version of DOS32 works well
with Euphoria?  I found two sources for DOS32 on the web but neither
mentions the price - that usually means it costs serious money.  I'm not
interested in a $2000 operating system - I have one at work and it's a
serious pain.  Does Euphoria make stand alone .exe files or does it produce
psuedo code that needs something like the BRUN files with VBasic?
