A small version of Windows was written...called Aurora.  Aurora was pretty
impressive but the following limitations must be overcome before it would
be profitable (educationally speaking):

- small, close to ASE
- An icon drawing program
- compatibility with ASM, Basic, and other emulated assembly progs
- practicality

Aurora was good for looks but it fell far short of Ashell in usefulness and
user-friendlyness.  IMHO, I think that the time used to program it could be
better spent.  But hey, it's your life.

By the way thanks for the April fools prog.  I got my best friend with it good!
And my bro almost got his Calculus teacher.  You know those attachments to
the teacher's calc's so that they can hook up to a big display on an overhead
projector.  Wouldn't it be great to see your message up on an overhead projector!
