Oh for sure. But I'm not going to upgrade the entire application at once. They want me to do it a little bit at a time. So I'll need the DOS to hang around for a while yet. Obviously I do not want to spend their money having me look over all the 4.5 code to make sure it's tight enough to run in 7.6 DOS, because I'm sure alot of it is sloppy and will NOT run. That's why I want to upgrade the DOS to 6.5 because I think 6.5 was much more forgiving of sloppy code. Then I can concentrate solely on converting the programs to windows one at a time.
So my original question was if I go to 9.0, can DOS 6.5 simultaneously connect. If 6.5 cannot, then for the client's sake I would probably want to put them on Windows version 7.6 rather than 9.0 so that I don't spend their money tightening up DOS code that will slowly be obsolete anyway...
