MS DOS

[Ronald Kahn]

I am now running a DOS based program networked with
computers running W98. I am upgrading to XP Pro. My
question - can I run my MS Dos program under XP Pro? Can
it be networked? If possible, what is the best way to do
it? Thanks.

With what little information you have provided you won't (can't?) get
an answere here. Personally I don't think it will work, if it
requires real mode DOS drivers to access the network, since there is
no DOS in XP, but you never know. It the program behaves itself, and
doesn't try to directly access your hardware (a no-no in XP) it MAY
work - but no guarantees.

Try providing more information if you'd like a more definitive answer.
