I have a legasy application I now need to run. It' runs on DOS 6.22 and if memory serves well on the DOS inside Windpws 95.
I have both - sort of.
Soooo I figure on using an older drive and loading the OS on that and just swapping 'em out when I want to run the legasy stuff.
My Win95 copy wants to install over DOS. DAMNITALL!!
My DOS 6.22 disks have a corruption in the start disk. Double DAMMITALL!!
Any one have an idea how I can get a DOS copy?

Sun, January 22, 2006 - 2:42 PMWhy don't you just shell out to DOS when you need to run that app? -

Mon, January 23, 2006 - 10:34 AMit isn't real DOS.
It needs native DOS and I gotta "install" the app. Can't run it from a directory. -

Mon, January 23, 2006 - 3:28 PMMaybe not. Win 95/98 have a DOS utility that uses a text file that forces apps to think they are in native DOS. I can't remember the name of it now, but it is in there somewhere. -

Tue, January 24, 2006 - 1:02 PMI'm running XP 64 Bit.
The DOS in XP is pretty locked up, worse then it was in 98.
Win 3.11 had native DOS available but that's another story.
