- *** Subject: S23. Will NeXTSTEP 486 be able to run Microsoft DOS and
- Windows programs?
-
- Yes. NeXTSTEP 486 will support a DOS and Windows compatibility package.
- This
- software will allow DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 programs to run within a
- NeXTSTEP
- window. Support will include DOS "Protected" mode and Windows 3.1
- "Standard"
- mode (Win-16). Support for Win-32 applications is planned for the second
- half
- of 1993.
