I work for an established printing company.<br />
<br />
The software we have used to design or buisness forms and have trusted for years ran under DOS.<br />
With &quot;dos&quot; being &quot;gone&quot; in Windows2000 and XP. We seem to be heading towards a software train-wreck when <br />
the systems here need to be replaced. <br />
<br />
I'm the admin here and am currently placing band-aids on these machines to keep our design<br />
department creating forms in Windows98se.<br />
<br />
I know sson enough we are going to need to replace these systems and HAVE to go with new systems running 2000 or XP.<br />
<br />
As for the application. I ahve tried it on both 2000 and XP. It runs and physically opens DOS...not in a dos-shell but DOS....runs for about 3 minutes and crashes.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

8-BIT or 16-BIT DOS in XP?

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
