Hello Bob!

Support for Dos even 32-bit will cause you some problems because the Dos 
extender libraries have not been supported for a long time and I would 
suggest you drop that (at least for the time being until the full memory 
nodel OS's are fully supported.

Other than that I would be happy with the OS's mentioned.
