 		 #123492 - Fatal flaw?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Christoph Franck said:
Of course, the applications will not be hacking with the _actual_ hardware of the PC, but with something that's, well, virtual, but behaves just like the real thing, as far as the "guest" operating system is concerned.

But isn't that exactly what happens when you run a 16-bit MS-DOS application on NT, XP, et al anyhow?
And isn't that exactly why we get problems such as the OP is reporting?

Of course, it must be worth a try - but I don't think one can just assume that it will be the answer to every old-DOS-on-new-OS problem...
