It’s from several years ago (4?).

Anyways what you want is this one:

https://github.com/neozeed/GW-BASIC-tkchia-devel

Which is updated to work

I thought it was well known, but I’d added it to github a while back

https://github.com/neozeed/himem.sys-2.06

It’s _out_ there as part of the specification disk, but hasn’t been relicensed.

DOSSHELL is also missing.

I can’t imagine a scenario where vmware/hyper-v/kvm wouldn’t suffice. Even when it was ‘current’ NT 4 terminal server is how I delt with needing to run Win16 stuff, as you could detach it and let it run in the background.

They are going to drop real/286/v86 modes soon enough anyways, so it’ll all be moot.

An upgrade path for the Deutschebahn?

Jokes aside the main advantage of Arcanoae is probably the ability to run these old Windows 3.x and OS/2 apps on UEFI-only hardware without CSM module.

I wonder if FreeDOS supports that and how complicated would it be to make Windows 3.11 apps to run on these without Arcanoae.

I’m not forgetting I just don’t have anything for OS/2 that 2.0 can’t run. The one time I watched someone go on about arcanoae they were still using Windows 3.1 stuff on bare metal which kind of loses the plot for me.

You are forgetting that OS/2 is still a commercial product and people pay good money for: https://www.arcanoae.com/product-category/an-products/

MS DOS was abandoned for almost two decades before they released some early sources.

I think there may be hope now, as DOS 4 did require IBM signoff, and Microsoft got it. I don’t think anyone who had so much animosity about OS/2 is still alive or anywhere near IBM these days.
