I need to think about that.

(added after "meditation")

1. FileSystem is a wrong way. Anyway i'll got 2gb or 4gb limit. Unfixable. But it is a good option for humans, who want use ancient hardware (like 4mb or 16mb ram). So, i'll keep it.

2. SXMS. You is right. I must "eat this cactus" :-D - create my own memory manager (application-level, will use SXMS driver).

Fill more and more restriction TP. I am start write dwed because have no normal text editor (from my point of view), but today i have no normal pascal compiler... :-D Restrictions: no uint32, int64, uint64 types and zero-level code optimization. Yes, FreePascal is good, but i want live in a real, unprotected world. And i am a little bit hate FPC - await compilation for real-mode from end of 90x. (Today, more realistic - expect drop DOS support :-D )

I am not try "hire" other people. But if you want play/use - last version at https://github.com/DosWorld/dwed (not release. release not ready).
