I have upploaded it to a tmp site, the Dos32.zip has a floppy image with freedos and Dos32 on and some demo apps, eg: fasm, this ver is for emulators (i have tested only in QEMU)

http://www.dex.asm4u.net/Dos32/

For real PC you need Dos32PC.zip which you just need to add the files to any Dos floppy, usb, hdd, you have, but it must be a pure Dos with no Extended memory set.
You just run Dos32.exe from the dos prompt.

Note: theres also a simple GUI (see screen shots), and the GUI is not finished.

And i agree HDPMI32 is a great peace of code, but Dos32 (will be called Dos2x) is unlike a Dos extender in that theres not any setting up of the 32bit environment and you do not need 31h (from a coders point).

NOTE: theres a full TCP/IP stack implemented.
And thing like jpeg, png, decoders.
