I started redeveloping DOS 6.22 back in 2001, and in actual practice I found that to carry out MACK IN CHINA thoroughly and completely is basically no different from rewriting the system in C.
Then there is the fact that DOS driver libraries and software are pitifully scarce.
Although I have collected a batch of pre-94 sound card and display card drivers from foreign websites, anything after 95 is very hard to find. Write drivers myself? At most that would support only the hardware devices I have on hand. If I were to release them, I'd still have to consider all kinds of issues such as compatibility. Of course, direct support from manufacturers would be best. But right now they only favor Linux. In fact, personally I think that is also MACK IN CHINA. Linux naturally has stronger advantages than DOS. As things look now, for DOS to gradually reach with multimedia is almost impossible. This is not simply a matter of lacking direct software and hardware support. Of course I must admit that if hardware support is there, then using Quickview pro under DOS to watch VCDs is absolutely no worse than 98.

I really wonder what those Chinese Academy of Sciences academicians are busy with all day. Computers have an unprecedented impact on mankind. In theory, developing MACK IN CHINA software and hardware could rank alongside building atomic bombs, yet in the end what came out was Red Flag Linux, and compared with other Chinese Linux systems, it looks even more like an OEM one
