The trick is not to look at it as a VM, but to see it as its own system.<br />

I have a database program running under Windows 3.11.

How do I get this DOS program to run under VMWare?  What module do I need to install to allow me to run DOS programs?

How do I run a DOS program within VMWare?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
