Running other DOSes

Running other DOSes

[Javier Tarifa]

One program was crashing and I thhought that it was dosemus' fault, but 
then I tried it on a "native" FreeDOS and it crashed the same way, so 
I'm trying to run MS-DOS 6.22 on it. The problem is that if I simply 
replace freedos with the DOS-6.22 files it says "invalid dos version" 
and doesn't boot, waiting for a correct command.com.
If I remove the file kernel.sys which seems that's exclusive to freedos 
dosemu will simply say that there's no operating system.
So, what is the way to make other DOSes work?

    Rename the freedos directory and create a new one, then put the 
MSDOS 6.22 files in it, then copy the DOSEmu files (from the renamed 
freedos directory) in it.
    Hope this helps.
    Bye.

Thanks, finally I got it working. I had to make all files lowercase for 
it to work,though.
