Win9x support #164
Description
DR-DOS WinBolt/WinGlue reportedly supported running Win9x from DR-DOS.
It's a long shot, but one can hope you can accomplish that one day.
There are some crumbs of information here, such as:
- Archived MS-DOS 7.0+ […] introduced a […] for the most part undocumented RMD data structure usually located in the HMA. The kernel collects and records configuration and Real Mode Driver data during boot (type of driver, interrupts hooked by driver, CONFIG.SYS line of invocation, etc.) and stores this information in a […] complicated […] growing data structure. Presumably […] meant to be used by the Windows core to get a better picture of the loaded Real Mode drivers […] or even attempt to unhook or unload some of them, […] it is only used to a very limited extent ([…] some of the info reflected in the log files created on […] startup, and some parts of the […] configuration manager also make use of it), […] leaving room […] beyond the technical side […] because nothing of the interesting stuff is documented […]

And more general lists of features:
Supporting that will allow using COMMAND.COM from another DOS as main SHELL (along with any other executables packaged with PC DOS, MS-DOS, etc.), the opposite of #25.
