Sorry, some of the replies have been a bit technical, and judging from the responses nobody on the list has first hand experience running DBASE II under freedos so I guess the recommendation is to just try it and report back on success/failure. If you don't want to setup dual-booting the advise is to use a commercial product like VMWARE (www.vmware.com) to run an emulated PC on XP where you run FreeDOS and your application. A couple of free/open source alternatives are dosbox.sourceforge.net and bochs.sourceforge.net. I have not tried any of the above applications so I can't say much about them other than they have worked for some others.
