Solve : Running DOS programs on XP?

1.	Solve : Running DOS programs on XP?
Answer» Looking for a quick and simple answer. Can LOTUS 123 VER 3.4 FOR DOS be installed and run on a computer running WINDOWS XP? ThanksI doubt it. Dont know the exact name : But something like "dosit" is used to run Dos based applications on windows.Not SURE why you'd want to do it? Some modern spreadsheets may be able to read the old Lotus 123 files if you've installed all the file converters.Quick answer: Maybe DOS PROGRAMS that directly handle I/O to the file system will not run on XP. If they use the OS (Windows) to handle the I/O, they will run just fine. Personally I have a DOS checkbook program (Managing Your Money c.1986) that runs just fine on XP. Suggestion: Install Lotus and SEE what happens. Worst CASE it will crash or hang. Then you know. Good luck. 8-)
