Hi Eric, ---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: [Freedos-user] re: My experiment with Windows 3.1 on FreeDOS in VMware Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2005 23:37:47 +0200 (MEST) From: Eric Auer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]
Heh, I love spreading FUD against MS ;-). FUD? The crash when attempting to run a DOS program or DOS box from within Windows is caused by wswap exe or dswap exe of Windows being unable to "swap the context" of the DOS session with the FreeDOS kernel. In other words, they cannot modify the running DOS to make it "free" to start a new DOS program while Windows is still around in the background. Do you exactly know what DSWAP does in order to try and swap the context?
