Recent snapshots have a fair bit of support for DOS, or so says the doco. Also, a few command-line DOS tools have been re-jigged by their makers as Win32 console applications, and most of those _do_ run fine under Wine. I had to use a very recent egcs/gcc (gcc-2.95.1) to compile the most recent wine (Wine990815), because of some dubious calling convention stuff in some code generated during the build, but that's running fine, otherwise. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
