the old ones still work quite well... then there's today's freepascal and
delphi stuff which also works quite well...

i know they have one that does 32bit in DOS and requires an external memory
manager like GO32... i was also watching the addition of 8088 based code to the
FPC base... i'm not sure how far that has gotten, though...

one problem would be the use of long file names... if one wanted to install the
16bit or 32bit on ""real"" DOS (eg: 6.22), there would be some serious problems
to deal with as the compiler sources use LFNs...
