In addition to the address space limitation, the segment-based
addressing is going to cause problems.  You could probably simulate a
linear address space with adjacent 64K segments (in protected mode).
Anybody know if any of the currently available protected mode systems
(or OS/2) supports (or will support) this?

I've run MicroGNU.  Works great (for what it is supposed to do).  I'm
working on the MS-DOS port of the new version now.
