- the faq for os2 claims you can run multiple dos sessions under
- os2 and they need not be the same version. is this for real? is
- it robust?
-
- i want to run dosv, the version of dos marketed by ibm for at and
- ps2 bus machines that does on screen display of japanese kanji.
-
- this version of dos does nothing more exotic than trap bios
- calls, check if the two byte codes are kanji, and display
- accordingly. it runs fine on generic us and european market
- machines. nevertheless, i do not want to shell out for os2 and
- learn its quirks if os2 will not runs dosv.
-
- (the v is dosv is not, by the way roman numeral 5, it stands for
- vga.)
