============================
You and I can't use the same actual dos machine at the same time -
right?
Same goes for non-user-directory installs.
Per the Highlander: "There can be only One" at a time.
IF and ONLY IF (IFF) the simultanious use of DOSEMU is on DIFFERENT
partitions or home directories is file locking not a factor.
Screw up your tax records and IRS will eat you alive. So will their
