Back in '86 I wrote a few applications in Dataease a first generation relational database with application builder front-end. Most of my apps bit the dust but I still use the one I wrote to manage household expenses. I have to tweak it every year to get over the millennium bug (it was real!) both otherwise it still does what I needed it to do. A dozen years ago I spent ages trying to get it to run in Windows 7 which ended up with me running it within a DOS Emulator for Linux which ran within an Oracle VM environment. It seemed to break every few months and need fixing - what a palaver! So that was where I was an hour or so ago when I googled "How to run a DOS program in Windows 10" and up came vDos. All I needed to do was download vDos; copy my app into a subdirectory and edit autoexec.txt to change directory into that subdirectory and run the batchfile I wrote decades ago. I just can't get over how simple this was! Huge thanks to JHM Schaars for this.

VDOS is an extradordinary program. It allows old DOS programs to function on Windows 7, thus eliminating the need to set up Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode; and on Window 10 it eliminates the need to set up Hyper-V. Jos Schaars is brilliant and I thank him for his guidance,

I am using vDos to run FoxPro Dos programs on Windows 10 (32 & 64 bit) and Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) on a local network. I wrote these programs over 25 years ago to use as retail pos and inventory control. I have received very quick support with the small problems I encountered.

Great for DOS emulation, lightweight.

Works perfectly. Used it to resurrect our WAMPUM dBASE III clone from 1985. Everything works just as it did 32 years ago. Download WAMPUM from: nerd.bz/2ocd0ap
