Re: [ATM] Flex under vista

["Mike Warne" <mike.warne@gmail.com>]

Hi,
 I don't have Vista, However you can burn a free DOS disk using FreeDos from
the freeDOS project.
www.*freedos*.org/  Don't know if it will work, but it's free.  I was able
to run Mel's scope.exe scope driver software using it so it seems to be very
compatible with MSDOS.

FreeDOS will allow you to boot from CD to freeDOS.
or...
If there is a Virtual Machine player available for Vista (vmWare.com )..
You can create a virtual machine using EasyVMX  (also free)
http://www.easyvmx.com/

I have run multiple OS under XP using EasyVMX and VmWare free player.

That way you can put DOS in a virtual machine  and run it inside a Vista
window without having to reboot.

Mike.
