Thinking about the Future, there are traces of DOS EMULATION Software for
LINUX going back to 1994, allowing DOS apps to run in it's own window:
http://hcs.harvard.edu/~hcr/94dec/dosemu.html
and more recent: www.dosemu.org ?
Lets face it, neither WINDOWS nor .NET are the "All End" solutions to current
problems in the industry. Microsoft's new Licensing scheme indicating that
even they accept the fact that revenue from what they are doing at present
and are planning for the forseeable future is not going to buy them much.
There is not enough room here to go into details about why
Programmers, Corporations worldwide and even Government departments over
here in the U.K. are changing to LINUX in droves. LINDOWS, a WINDOWS
capable LINUX system has not been put out of existance by Microsoft's
legal action. So what next ?
Time for younger DOS Programmers working in Windows to look for an
alternative ?
I am too old to worry, having enough income from my DOS Apps to last
until I join the Great Database in another dimension
