MVDM DOS Emulation provides DOS services to applications running in Multiple Virtual DOS Machines. The environment provided is highly compatible with those same services that are provided to DOS applications running under native DOS 5.0. It addresses only DOS compatibility aspects; processor and other hardware aspects of the DOS environment are addressed by the 8086 Emulation component and virtual device drivers.
This chapter describes the implementation of the DOS Emulation component, and the DOS software services provided to support DOS applications running in virtual DOS machines.
