Hi,
i didn't track this thread, but what you looking for, is probably vmware.
http://www.vmware.com
I think there's no version for win98, but for Win NT. And you can run win98
under Linux.

There used to be a config.sys option - "switches -" or something like that.

personally I don't trust that setdos stuff, and try to avoid it.

This is a documented feature. Replace the "echo" command eith "echo."
which works just like echo but it doesn't complain about blank lines.

you'll never write a uudecoder in 4dos...you will have more success trying to
do a XXdecoder.
you could try parsing the file one character at a time. (use redirection and
inkey) or open the file in binary mode.
