I think CPM-86 runs under DR-DOS. Heck, since Concurrent DOS is based on DR-DOS, it can't hurt to try!

I don't know about "free," but there is an "available" version of both DR-DOS for DOSEmu, here: http://www.drdos.com/downloads/index.html [ I also found RPMs for DOSEmu and DR-DOS on the net for Caldera OpenLinux, but the worked fine on RedHat 7.2. ] And DR-DOS disks/images here: ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/DR-DOS.703/ [ Once I had DOSEmu+DRDOS booting, I used the above images to "custom mix" a DR-DOS 7.03 release for DOSEmu with the programs I needed. Newer DOSEmu versions let you boot a directory, instead of an image. ] > Or even a vaguely available one? I'd rather not pay the $800 > Concurrent Controls wants for their latest incarnation of CDOS. As far as "cost," Lineo was charging $150 for a DR-DOS 5-pack, and $280 for a DR-DOS 10-pack. But all my inquiries into purchasing it have been _ignored_. The DOSEmu image includes a license that states it _is_free_ for both personal _and_ commercial use, although I don't know about using it for more than 1 system though (as that is all the license grants you, 1 system). -- Bryan -- Bryan J.
