Re: windows xp and dos

[Thomas J Hawley tjh@xxxxxxxx]

There's no "real DOS" in Windows 2000 or XP, and that's the case whether
you are in a window or full screen. When you run a DOS application, you
are running NTVDM.EXE which is the Windows virtual device machine for DOS.
It's basically the same way that OS/2 handles DOS applications, by creating
a "DOS Box" emulator within the operating system. While OS/2 does it much
more elegantly than Windows, it does work in W2K.

Xywrite 4.018 DOS does work in Windows 2000; I've been using it there (on
both a ThinkPad T21 laptop, and a Dell workstation) since moving from OS/2
at the end of last year.
