Windows

I would say more info is needed. Like what application? I would check with the software vendor first, if they do not support it or do not exist, then test it thoroughly on another system before upgrading this system.

To answer your question as is, yes and no. Some DOS apps will work fine, some will error, and some will just not run. Please provide more info

I agree with the techman. One other thing to remember is that by default the DOS app will need to be run under an administrator's account because the user account is barred from running legacy apps.

Cheers.

I still use good old stable Procomm for DOS and Hyper Access 5 on my XP Pro PC. I agree with the others. Some DOS babies work, others not. My suggesstion is try installing this software on an XP PC. Set up a dummy client with data. Try it out. You should get your answers that way.

If it will not run in a window you can use Microsoft Virtual PC.

Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer.

You can use these virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS?, Windows, and OS/2.

By using the Virtual PC you can have any system you want on the virtual box.
