Please forgive this post for straying from the topic of Freedos, itself. It relates to the subject of DOS emulation, as aspects of that subject are frequently addressed here.
One such emulator is DOSBOX. I was pleased enough to come across it quite a few years ago, even though I have very little interest in computer games. I have had a much greater interest in text applications, finding a certain elegance with text editors, word processors, and outline processors for DOS systems that I do not find in contemporary operating systems. I was very much pleased when I came across VDOS-PLUS. I was even able to install it satisfactorily, though not without issues, under WINE on Linux, and included utilities from FREEDOS. My favorite DOS application of all time is PCOUTLINE, which for me represents the pinnacle of elegance. It is a work of beauty under VDOS-PLUS. Would someone be willing to do this old man a favor by taking the time to explain, at a conceptual level, what VDOS-PLUS is doing that DOSBOX does not do? I am not a coder. Thanks, Al Whealton
