Yes, I know. I wanted to write this into 3 words...but this is not enough ;-) >> Programms (HX DOS Extender) Windows-Programme unter DOS zu verwenden. >> Ein bekanntes Beispiel ist die Windows-Version von QEMU. > Did anybody actually test whether QEMU for Win runs in HXRT in DOS?

The reason I wrote the article was to let people know about the project who else wouldn't look at any DOS site. It should intrigue the people from Windows and Linux world. Or maybe people who haven't used DOS since Win95. And they don't want a text with 10 000 words, they only want to know, what are the possibilities of FreeDOS, why it is better than MS-DOS and which applications are avaiable. The date of release is official - BUT I don't think it is a problem if the release will be some days later. ;-) Bye Flo -- Florian Xaver <http://www.flox.at.tf> *Webdesign *oZone-a GUI operating system for DOS,Linux,Win *SWORD-a nice GUI library for DOS/DJGPP Dr-DOS Wiki <http://www.drdos.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
