Uhh, how do you know this? There's still support for CP/M. There's huge
support for DOS games. There's FreeDOS, Caldera (DR-DOS), all kinds of DOS.
Enterprising programmers looking for a niche. Emulation in every OpSys.
Thunking any CPU to 16-bit operation is trivial. Even if your machine doesn't
run it, you'll run a network copy off some server somewhere. DOS won't
disappear.
