I have a program writtenin MOS-DOS and I want to run it
on my Windows XP home addition. I have been told I can't
run MOS-DOS programs in XP. Is this true? I see support
about creating an MOS DOS start up disc so I have to
believe it is doable...........would someone please let
me know.........I can be reached at
(e-mail address removed)......thanx very much...I need to do this
for my work.
 
It's actually MS-DOS, but anyway many DOS programs will work just fine in
XP. If you could post the name of it someone could probably tell you
specifically whether it works.

You can run DOS programs in XP quite easily, you can create a shortcut
to a dOS program on desktop and it will make a PIF (Program Info File)
which you can modify to suite the DOS program's needs e.g.
Expanded/Extended RAM, window size etc.
