Rubbish. MS-DOS from Win95 and Win98 is perfectly OK with dosemu.

If you have Windows 98 (or 95) you can make a bootable floppy,
under Windows in DOS mode, with the sys a: command, and copy the
three files from the floppy (ignore drvspace.bin which is also there).

The DOS utilities belonging to Windows 95/98 are in
c:\windows\command. Copy them to your DOS (=dosemu) path.

NOTE: To boot the DOS from Win98/95 neatly (without a Windows logo
flashing by, and arriving at the correct prompt) it is best to
edit msdos.sys. In 'Windows DOS' this is a text file, which
originally has just one line in it:

;SYS

You should edit it (with an MS-DOS editor, or for instance with
joe -crlf) to read

[Options]
Logo=0
;SYS

Good luck, Jan
