iam sure it could be done, if windows 95 could be built as an addon to a non multitasking operating system, this shouldnt be too impossible. ive had ideas to prevent crashes, and possibly speeding the system. like windows 95, to achieve real multitasking the programs each opened their own instance of Command.com (the interpreter) there could be as many as instances of command.com running in the background durring startup. the tasks would communicate though a server which allowed for IPC. then the virtual machine would be loaded into memory, along with Kernel32.dll then control was switched over to the 32 bit kernel module. in a sense this can be done with Euphoria for instance: ex.exe (ex.exe, ex2.exe, ex3.exe...and so on) to me this seems like a total waste of resources. A modification to the interpreter sounds best. we could modify it, then translate it to C and compile an exe, or elf binary then the modified interpreter would be a stand alone unit. annother idea would be to build an interpreter right into the kernel. iam not sure how that would work. if you have any ideas i would be glad to hear them. derek
