I am not good sometimes at explaining things. Callver is exactly the question I was tryin to ask.
I have Virtual PC 2007 installed in XP, created a virtual machine FreeDOS Testing ( have another FreeDOS 1.4) and I copied the dos files from vm additions to a folder in the virtual machine. This version doesn't have a setup for them, but I am quite familiar with the setup and did it. fshare can be ran saparately and doesnt need the other files. In the DOS 6.22 virtual machine it executes and runs just fine. In all others it fails. I tested usin callver 6.22 and that also fails. I didnt think to try an older version of dos additions as usually that will also fail because it is older version. Yes DOS does that too. I will try that next. I am also tryin out win 3.xx and also curious about 95 to see how they might work. So far Win3.11 just locks up the live system (usb 2605 testing). Keep up the great work everyone. FreeDOS is great. Long Live DOS.
