DOS is so minimal/unconstrained that one can easily make bootable
program with a DOS compiler. I had the start of an OS (I got it to the
point of being able to recognize commands and change video-modes)
written purely in BP7 {100% Pascal, with the exception of something
like 6-lines of inline assembler (to handle the keyboard/scan-codes)}.

The problem currently stumping me regarding doing it in Ada is that my
GNAT tries to hook the non-existent runtime OR (with the runtime-
restriction pragma) gives me funny linker errors preventing a compile.

Oh, thanks for the lead.
