YES! a very nice and small OS .. i like it :)
however there are some things i do not like...
mainly:
1.GFX=too slow algorithms
2.API=non stack frame based
because of this and inspired by Menuet info i have restarted my own OS developement project: "SOL OS", i have problems with Interupt gates... right now... :(

I found it funny tht you raised the Graphics point -- I read earlier in their FAQ:
------
Why GPL ?
There are plenty of guys and girls, who program parts of assembly
way better. For example, the GUI can be optimized and faster.
------
Btw, I couldn't exactly tell, but is this OS 16 bit or 32 bit based? It sounded like 32 but the subject title was "16 over 32 bit asm"

The point that was meant to be made is how easy 32 bit asm is vs 16 bit. Anyone who has programed both would agree. :) 16 bit x86 gave assembly programming a bad rep.
The OS is evolving and quite a bit has been done in a short time. None of these ASM OS's are coded in a modular form - makes editing/understanding for 'outsiders' difficult to impossible! Combine that with a lack of documentation, and not many will work on the OS to improve it. Why can't asm programmers code monolithically in small digestable fragments?

bitrake, ive always wonderd that too. And i think i know why.
I learned assembly before any modular program. So i did the same thing because i had total control. Ive started learning c, so now i have a view of how modularity helps. When i go back to writing asm, im gonna try and do it like i did in c.
