Eric, my last message was rhetorical :) I actually mentioned GEM, ZOO, PGME, ETC. because they're included in the FreeDOS distribution while being a full multitasking GUI system of its own, just like early Windows. I just needed to make a point. Also mentioned boot sector games as the topic came up on this mailing list not too long ago.
Richard Stoltenberg's "With wine you can run windows 3.11 programs on Windows 10 and 11. This group is about DOS." remark needed a little humbling.

While boot sector games are not technically DOS apps, they can certainly be a hobby of FreeDOS experts :-) > You can run DOS programs on an up-to-date Windows 10 > with zero add-ons by just using a 32-bit OS build. > Why do we need FreeDOS? FreeDOS needs several gigabytes of disk space and RAM less ;-) Cheers, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
