YAOIS - Yet Another Irrelevant Operating System (Announce)

Wow. It was p*olluting it didn't like. It was
happy with crap and flashing.

Right. My plan is to switch from large memory
model to huge memory model so that I can remove
the kludge I put in for PDOS/86 memory management.

A couple of days ago I discovered that although
Watcom generates appropriate code in huge memory
mode, Turbo C doesn't.

Then I would make size_t 32-bit (long) in this
huge memory model.

Another plan (see the "bios" directory for proof
of concept) is to have a C90 BIOS abstraction.
So disks would be seen as just files. This
restricts disks to 2 GiB though. To lift that
restriction I want to make long (only) 64-bit.
Still with 80386 code.

Win32 applications don't need to be recompiled
if they have been written to the lowest
common denominator which is PDOS/386.
