- DOS emulation
-
- Rather than running a copy of MSDOS in an virual 8086, wouldn't it be
- nice to have a free dos-like operating system that was capable of
- running DOS programs?
-
- Has anyone ever thought about writing such a thing? I guess it would
- be much easier that linux was to write. Is DOS sufficiently well
- documented and understood for such a thing to be written?
-
- If anyone has any comments (even if only to encourage me to look
- further into starting such a project) please feel free to send
- mail to me at jburtona@cix.compulink.co.uk
