The problem with this approach is apparently that it requires low-level programming exclusively for the DOS platform. But I am certainly not a master of the assembly language. On the other hand, if HX DOS Extender can provide an extension library designed for this purpose then it will certainly be very helpful - Win32 apps can then become DOS aware and access resources in DOS with its built-in libraries.

By the way, DOSBox-X 0.83.7 is already released. Please check it out:
