Hi Sinooko,
Well, Windows is more stable and robust without "Real DOS"
however, just boot from a DOS floppy and you'll be in business!
Try using the Multiboot bootdisk from:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.

| reason. It would be a considerable loss if all dos games where just left
| behind in the techno dust. Most of these games will never be remade. my point
| is, microsoft had a system capable of running these programs at one point,
| and i was wondering if they could assign some programmers to smoothing the
| wrinkles in backwords compatibility.
