Presumably yes.

You probably don't have to use an older machine. In fact, you could use something like RUFUS to install to a bootable USB jump drive: http://rufus.akeo.ie/ > Can anyone offer any explanation why a program would run fine in DOSbox > and crash on real hardware? DOSBox is not a real DOS, it's only for games, and it only emulates maximum 64 MB of RAM. If I had to guess, they're probably ignoring any attempts to free memory until actual program exit (probably to avoid buggy games crashing). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
