Of course, windows XP has bad DOS emulation, or whatever, and I like to find out if there are any DOS emulators available to use, so I can use DOS programs(I think Dark Nation posted one a while back, but I didn't need it then) in XP. Anyone got any useful links?

I haven't tried it out yet, but here's (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1) one.

You could get FreeDOS or QDOS or something...

Or you could just install dos. It's not that big. But that's only good if you have acess to the floppy disks like I do.

Only need a DOS shell in windows, capable of running this (http://www.elecbyte.com/games/index.html) program. Unfortunately, DOSBox won't help. Thanks for the info though guys.:)

... So you want a dos shell in windows capable of running a program developed for linux. Wow. That's pretty stupid.

It'd be best if you looked at all the news Breaker, as you would be able to notice that DOS versions are available on the site as well.

I'm sure if you were smart enough, you'd know that, but I guess not.:shrug:

Just in case you have trouble finding it, check the update that has the feature:Platform change to Linux; DOS platform is no longer supported. It's only 3 updates down. I'll let go of your hand now.;)

If you ever need characters for it just let me know. Over the last few years or collecting, I think I have every one of them in existance ;)

That'd be great. I just need it to run under XP through something, and I'll be set.:) Currently, it just freezes after the expiration screen comes up.:shrug:
