DOS

Does Windows XP have DOS. I have a DOS program to load.

Yes. Type MS-Dos in help. As long as the program doesn't access not well =
known hardware direct it will work.

Hi Andy,

True DOS? No, but it has a DOS emulator that supports most older programs
and commands. Access it by typing cmd into a start/run prompt and clicking
'ok'. The only real limitation comes with some few programs that require
direct hardware access. Needed system variables can be placed in the
environmental variables on the advanced tab of system properties.
