Can't wait for the OSS community to fork it and build some cool shit on top of this /s

Well, this should be incredibly useful for Dosbox and improving playability of retro games, right?

Perhaps, if there are some very specific compatibility issues that haven't been solved yet.

That said, MS-DOS 4 isn't even the most recent version, the last one was 6.22 to my knowledge, and IIRC a lot of games tended to require at least version 5 or 6.
