It's not hard for a virtual machine system to support DOS. As long as it emulates an Intel CPU with a BIOS, any DOS (FreeDOS and MS-DOS and DR-DOS) should work. It might emulate all kinds of other things, but Intel CPU + BIOS is all it needs to run "DOS." That hasn't changed since the 1990s. And as long as VMWare supports DOS guests, then I don't see a need to say "we don't 'support' VMWare." And if VMWare someday stops running any DOS, we would say "VMWare doesn't support DOS" (*we would not say "FreeDOS doesn't support VMWare"). > P.S.

We've done a few Saturday meetings, but Sundays seem to work best. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
