dosemu under WinXP???

[Jan Lange]

I've read in some forums that it is possible to emulate old ms-dos
unter win2k and winxp. Is that right?
If its right, how it works?
And how could you start the emu under M$ Win2k/XP?
thx for your answer

Blasphemy!! =D
No really, I don't think dosemu will run well under anything but Linux.
I think there's something called 'Application Compatibility Toolkit' or something
That can help you run older apps in XP.

And there is DosBox (http://dosbox.zophar.net/), which is currently developed 
in order to make especially old DOS games run under Linux and Windows. At the 
moment dosemu is the much better choice for Linux, but perhaps it might be 
usefull for XP in the future.
