getting Dos on xp home and xp pro

[Rick Kilburne]

from what i hear cmd prompt is only simulated dos does
anybody know where a true dos app program can be
downloaded from having problems running dos based
programs on both xp home & xp pro

You need to be more precise and use punctuation. XP will run many dos =
programs. If you are having problems detail the exact problem you are =
having using exact steps and exact text of error messages.

There's no way to do what you ask. The only way to run "true" DOS
on a computer with only XP installed is to boot to DOS from a
diskette.

Or dual-boot with a version of MS-DOS

Yes, but note that I said "on a computer with **only** XP
installed" (emphasis added).

Neither XP version has DOS. The programs should still work. If not,
You will needto either create a DOS partirion and boot to it, Or boot
from a DOS Floppy. Either way, you would need a DOS Partition as Win9x
can't see NTFS partitions.


Stupdity should hurt..
