I don't recommend to run DOS on win2k and winMe, you will most likely to
experience nothing than problem if you try. If you have to, test before you
say anything to customer, it is very easy to loss customer if things you
offered don't work. I had been in this kind fo situation before, when
customer upgraded PC as well as the OS from DOS to win98, customer's main
program (DOS based) won't work anymore. I was lucky that I managed to
install win95b with his new PC and his DOS program runs under win95 DOS 7
(must boot into pure DOS, not DOS window). win2k and winMe don't have DOS
any more, I don't see much luck in your case.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Windows 2000 Server


Hello,
     I am currently quoting a price to a customer for a server and 3
workstation network.  The customer wants Windows 2000 Server and Windows ME
for the workstations.  The main software the office uses for billing and
bookkeeping is a DOS based program.  I have looked all over Microsoft's web
site and I can not find any information if Windows 2000 Server and Windows
ME supports DOS programs.  Does anyone know or have any experience with this
situation??
