Hi,
I said not long ago that running windows on FreeDOS is not a real test,
let me explain why: Windows at some point included some very complicated
locking mechanism to *avoid* windows running other DOSes.
I like very much Michael Devore's aproach: (paraphased) "if you find an
important program that does not work I will implement it, but I will not
implement anything just just for the sake of it"
Lotus was an important program, so there could be sometings in this
allegation. But, will someone *use* Lotus in FreeDOS? I sincerely doubt.

This is somewhat offtopic from the FreeDOS development discussion, but
I'll post it anyway. There's an article that showed up on Slashdot this
morning, referencing the old 'DOS ain't done till Lotus won't run'
mantra: http://www.proudlyserving.com/archives/2005/08/dos_aint_done_t.html
