Most of the things I tested worked fine, even with the nasty messages around, AT-Matlab should never run, DOSSHELL should. Probably MS-DOS is the most "unpolite" OS around. I hesitated before posting my personal list because I didn't want anyone to think doscmd was buggy. DOScmd, in its present state is VERY useful, I was impressed that I ran those commands without booting, and in an independent X window without even being near to a crash. I'm even tempted to start a new ports branch :-). I see a great future here. My wishlist for doscmd is: 1) Being able to run pcemu-like apps without booting. 2) Being able to run dosemu-like (32-bits) apps when booting. For VM86: 1) Being able to run Minix-386 under VM86 (it runs in protected mode). That would be a "super-emulator" :-) regards, Pedro.
