I've been watching this discussion on the various incompatibilities with
DOS and MKS and the thought just struck me.  Why does not Mortise Kern
go ahead and turn MKS into a standalone OS?  Hmmmmm...  You guys already
have about 80% of it done with the shell and utilities.  Why not put together
a nice little multitasking, single user kernel to run below the shell.

Maybe we could get a discussion going here and maybe if there's enough
interest, Gerry could make it happen.  How 'bout it guys.. interested in
getting away from Microsloth pseudo-dos?  Lets make some noise.
