I just downloaded the freeDOS image from the disk image page on the BOCHS site: bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.htmland if you extract the files and than run command.com it acctualy works on my windows 7 beta. This is pretty random, but my point is why run it in BOCHS when you can run it under windows anyway? ![](http://5791248191702431948-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/wolfman774/Home/freecom(FreeDOS)commandlinerunninginwindows7.jpg) the stangest part is that it runs normal windows commandline executables? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Wow! I think it might have full abilities when run natively, at least when running apps inside of itself. I don't prefer to run emus anyway, but I'm guessing if you try to run something on FreeDOS within Windows 7 that wouldn't run on Windows 7 but would on pre-98, it wouldn't work on the embedded one but would if it was booted natively.

Undie, does this program let you run 16-bit applications for Windows 7 ? That would definitely be a benefit.

DosBOX is good for DOS games, DJ, yep, but it's a real mess to try and run Windows 3.1 program (16-bit) in. You have to install Windows 3.1 first and junk. And no, I haven't found a Windows 7 Windows 3.1 emulator yet ... ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I readed 16 bit apps and was thinking you mean 16 bit real mode DOS apps not win 3.1 stuff.

I guess the good question is, IS there a Windows 3.1 emulator for Windows 7 outside of WINE which is a real pain to install ?
I can think of several good Windows 3.1 programs, Castle Of The Winds, is a good game for that OS I remember.
