    Is anyone interested in working on PDOS,
    a 32-bit version of MSDOS?

    http://pdos.sourceforge.net

    It is written in C with some x86. It is genuine
    public domain (not GPL etc).

    It has reached the point where we’re largely
    after products to be ported to PDOS/386, and
    then fix the OS as required.

    BFN. Paul.

    You might consider changing the name. PDOS sounds bad, you'll be fighting criticism forever

    It so happens that changes have been made to PDOS/386 so that it now supports some of the Windows API rather than the MSDOS API. So the new name is PD-Windows, for "public domain windows". And a couple of months ago there was a formal release.
