Anything is possible but I think you might be barking up the wrong tree.
I work in FreeDOS in virtual PC 2007 and I am tryin to use fshare which allows shared folders in VPC but it tells me that "folder sharing on this host is not allowed" which makes me think it expects msdos but is gettin freedos instead.
Does this mean that you've tried it with MS-DOS, and it worked as you expect it to work with MS-DOS; but when you do exactly the same thing using FreeDOS it doesn't work?
Is there a way to have the system temporarily report as msdos instead of freedos, or a way to have programs see the system as msdos and not freedos?
It's open source, but I think first you need to answer my question.
Could anyone enlighten me on this and their opinions?
