I'm very attached to some old DOS apps. They run quite well in DOS
boxes under Win98, but Win2k having only a DOS emulation, I'm chicken
about upgrading to WIN2k (which I'd like to do as I'm rather tired of
instabilities in Win98).
Most important to me is the (very old -- 1989) DOS/GEM version 3 of
Ventura. This runs in a full-screen graphic mode, can't be windowed
(at least in Win98). Occasionally I also run apps in DOS text mode,
such as Word 6, but I expect these would heve fewer problems, and at
least there are alternatives to these.
Does anyone know if these will run under Win2k?
Is there a software compatibility list? (Not from MS -- they would
just say "unsupported", I'm sure.)
