I would really like a blueprint to see what I am doing. Is there commented code for DOS/BATCH? Or even CAPS-11. I would like love to see a fully commented kernel to see what I am up against.
I've never seen DOS sources. Also, DOS/Batch is a later version with more stuff in it. DOS V4 might be better.
On the other hand, DOS is a truly evil operating system. I don't know its internals, but just from using it you can tell it should never be used as a model.
RT-11 is very clean. I've worked with V2A (the FB version when possible, SJ when I didn't have enough memory). They are very simple and compact; the UI is the old TOPS-10 style, not the newer bloated "DCL" interface. So a V2 era edition would be a good way to go.
