He wants to run an old dbase II application under XP using freedos since it apparently does not work under XP and he would rather not dual boot XP and FreeDOS. The suggestion was for him to use BOCS or some other PC simulator to run it inside XP so he could use his legacy Application under this OS. This is if my memory of this thread is correct.
