    Not sure that I am right but I think command.com IS the dos prompt in Win2k or WinXP. The cmd and command are different. Just check the title of the console once you run command.com instead of cmd and you will know. Sonork 100.41263:Anthony_Yio Life is about experiencing ...

    Actually, I never noticed that-- now I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'm gonna read up. What I am really after is something to run old DOS programs, that hijack the graphics context, in a window, but thank you very much. -Jeff here, bloggy bloggy

      Wow, thanks a lot. I never even noticed the release of that one! $129 for all the functionality seems like a pretty decent price, if you ask me. -Jeff here, bloggy bloggy

          VMWare is way better to me. I heard from a big customer of us that even the Microsoft support team is using VMWare internally :-) -- - Free Windows-based CMS: www.zeta-software.de/enu/producer/freeware/download.html - See me: www.magerquark.de - MSN Messenger: uwe_keim@hotmail.com

            This will forever kill any respect you CPians have for little ol' me, but I have to ask: is there any software that will allow running old DOS-based programs in a window? I'll give a gold star to anyone who can point me to such a thing. NO gold star goes to anyone who flippantly suggests CMD.EXE. :) -Jeff here, bloggy bloggy

              That's because they had a VMWare corporate license before they acquired Connectix. ;)
