How would you go about loading up an MS-DOS 6.22 VPC environment.
Are the MS-DOS disks available through our MSDN Subscription ?, does anyone
have a VHD already prepared that could be shared ?

Please help as we need to re-compile an old MS-DOS app that has stopped
working due to server change.

Thanks

Same was as you would install MS-DOS onto a physical machine...

They're certainly available for download. I'm an MSDN Universal subscriber
(until the end of the month after which I'm being "transitioned"...)

Hmm - assuming there are no legal / licensing issues with that, I could do
that for you. I'd need one of the "guys" to say it's OK first, though...

Just use FreeDOS. V1.0 was released a couple of days ago.

I'd never heard of that until today. Looks excellent.
