How about OS/2, DRDOS, UNIX, PWI (Public Windows Interface), etc. I know Microsoft has convinced many people that they are the only game in town, but it doesn't need to be that way. It will be better for everybody if it's not. The runnaway mine train doesn't need another push downhill. Most other vendors are trying hard to make their products compatible with MS DOS and Windows 3.1, but projects important to the public should avoid choices which make that dificult, like use of undocumented calls, etc. Good luck with your project in any event.
