Project 7: Bare-Metal Windowing Editor

Starting with this project, we will create SWIM (Simple WIndowing Machine), a basic but functional operating system. In this assignment, you will start SWIM by creating a windowing environment with a text editor. The VGA buffer will be divided into four windows. Within each window, the user may edit a text document.
