I think you're right, Harry. I was confusing Parallels with Boot Camp.

Parallels is the same, isnt it? Its not a partition, its a file. One file

But I think this is comparing apples and oranges. Parallels (Harry) requires
an entire partition devoted to Windows 7 (or whatever version), whereas Fred,
using Boxer, is (if I understand correctly) running DOS on a virtual machine
inside OS X.

Under Parallels, it's even better, and there's no real "price to pay."
