All I know is is that DOS and Windows emulations suck. The best is to run it with the real thing.

Except working on a project through DOS is a bitch. Running the end product is fine, but when you can only deal with one program at a time it really slows the fork out of progress...

It cant be done.. DOS offer too little memory.. DOS has no "shared" hardware simulation..

So in short, everything would use the same mem and use the same hardware, "at the same time"
I have left this dump.
