Speaking of which... Anyone know if there will ever be a version of
PC Ditto that emulates expanded memory? It seems kind of silly to
run a DOS emulation, using 703K, in a 4 meg machine...

On a somewhat similar topic, has anyone heard anything new about
XDOS? I've seen one article about it, mentioning thus&such companies
will be licensed to use it, etc. Nothing else in a long long while.
(XDOS, for those who haven't seen, is a system that "compiles" 8086
object code into 680x0 object code. The result is the ability to run
"DOS" applications with very high efficiency on 680x0 based systems.
I don't know what is covered in the translation process, whether an
XDOS system can use DOS formatted disks, etc...)
