GUI's for DOS that don't require Winblows

[Floid]

I liked the look of SEAL last I saw it, and could swear there was a port of the Lynx browser to it, but perhaps not.

If you do need a standalone browser, I think Arachne is as good as it gets on DOS.  Whether you can find appropriate network drivers is another matter.

NewDeal Office is also interesting - based on the old GeoWorks package, itself descended from GEOS - but 1. it was designed to pretend to be an OS, so running it under DOS might be some hassle (I *assume* they built on top of Caldera OpenDOS/DR-DOS or FreeDOS, but no idea)... and 2. the company appears long-since dead.

Can we put OS/2 on it??

From http://dcemulation.netfirms.com/dosxbox.shtml and http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/, you can see that it's not a full emulator.  Or rather, it probably could be, but the UI and all the work done on emulating DOS itself will probably prevent it.

OS/2 never ran 'on top of' DOS, so that's probably a no-go.  Maaaybe the original 16-bit versions (1.x?) would work, under the assumption that they'd use BIOS calls for everything, but I doubt it.

Now, if you can get http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ going, you could probably emulate whatever you want underneath it.  Maybe.  Actually, I'm not so sure something like VMWare would work, though Bochs should.
