- Forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to run a 386 program on a
- virtual 386 on a real 386? The reason I ask is this: aren't a lot
- of dos programs running in 386 mode? So even if you got VM86 working
- and got a dos emulator running, wouldn't things like windows apps
- not run at all? Or is everything still running as an 8086?
-
- Thanks.
