	> Have anybody tried this? No wasn't aware. Interesting. Reading their website it appears to be a commercial alternative to DOSBox which is available in several flavors ranging in price from $175 to $230 per unit. See prices on their https sales page.

NO. But haven't you oops not you already boasted with this virus some time ago ?

> Running DOS applications in a simulated native environment.

I prefer real native.

> Allowing DOS applications to run in Full Screen mode, also under
> Windows 7 and Vista with the Aero user interface enabled.

Works for me in EDR-DOS and FreeDOS for free.

> Running DOS applications directly on Windows 7

Tell me when you get FireFox or Opera working on DOS.

> Solving many common Runtime and NTVDM errors.

DELTREE /Y \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\NT*.*

> Allowing full control of memory and environment space
> provided for the DOS application.

Also physical memory ?

> Securing the applications using an Administrator or User password,
> disabling non-authorized users from running the applications.

But if they reboot to DOS :clap:

Not related to DOS at all :-(

NO I'm not going to pay for it

DGJPP ??? + 1'000'000'000'000 other :clap:

Typical WinGeek "argument" from long ago: more bloat -> more modern

Look, I have four computers:
2 have only DOS installed
1 is tripple boot: DOS, Win98, WinXP

and the last one is notebook from HP which doen't support legacy interfaces like IDE and has only some proprietary SATA chip. I can run DOS there only in very limited way and I can't do nothing with it.

So every solution for DOS programs is welcome.

Have you thought/tried booting off a boot-able DOS SD/MMC card ? In other words just using a spare "old" card as if it was a hard drive but without having to worry about the other drive for storage. Works fairly well. I would however STRONGLY advise against trying to be too clever.... no disk caching etc.

> So every solution for DOS programs is welcome.
I agree.
