WHAT IS GNU/DOS?

GNU/DOS is a distribution of FreeDOS which includes the following:

-Several core FreeDOS packages
-The DJGPP development environment with many GNU programs -The Arachne Web
browser and e-mail client -The OpenGEM graphical user interface with many
GEM programs -The vim editor for developers
-The MTXE screen saver
-GPL, GPL with DJGPP exceptions, vim, Artistic License, Jason Hood
License, and LGPL licensed source code for all of the above

GNU/DOS is very well suited for:

-Web and e-mail (no Java or other "plugins") through a dial-up modem (not
a "Winmodem") or Ethernet connection -Classic DOS and console UNIX
applications and games -Development (using the GNU Compiler Collection)
-And more!

Gordon,
What is the interest to develop and to use DOS today ? Low memory ? The
fun of coding ? What else ?

Just a question out of curiosity.

Gordon,

old 486!!
