Windows XP is really NT version 5.1 and does not have any DOS code.
However, NT has always had a sort of DOS compatibility mode which is
called a command window. Most DOS programs will run in this window. The
exception are programs that try to access the hardware directly. For
stability and security reasons, all versions of NT (including XP)
prevent programs from accessing hardware except through the OS.

To be sure if your programs will run under XP, why not take the software
to a computer that has XP on it and try it out?

I would like to upgrade to Windows XP but I have several programs that
are written in DOS.

Is there anyway to run a DOS program on a computer that has Windows XP
as the operating system?
