Lots of work has been put into it, so I wouldn't stop.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to stop developing it. You can drive without being able to raise and lower the window, but you cannot drive without an engine. I see being able to run Windows programs reliably on real hardware to be the engine, and I see NTVDM sort of like the passenger door window. The reason I told that story is to illustrate how getting distracted and doing more than one is asked to do can take away from the main task at hand. And it got into taking time away from rebuilding the engine and acquiring parts to fix what they broke trying to fix it and to actually fix the window problem. But a couple of the teens thought they'd examine why the passenger door window (electric) didn't work, and they got in over their head. They were not asked to repair anything else. So they were to tear down the engine, bore things out, sleeve it, put in new bearings, rings, etc. The distributor had worked loose somehow and unsplined itself from the oil pump, but still managed to turn. They were working on a hearse with a blown engine. It is like a high school auto mechanics class. How exactly does putting all this work into a DOS console help ROS with its main goals? Yes, I see how it makes it run older software work, and makes ROS compatible with Windows 95/98/ME in that regard.
