DOScmd emulates the OS, using a feature of the i386 processort which allows you to create a protected mode task whihc acts just like a real mode task did on an 8086/8088. Which means that "emulated" processor is YOUR processor. So if you have a 486, you get 486 instructions. Remeber, though, that programs (such as games) whihc switch into protected mode won't work. > > Jonathan Mini (j_mini@efn.org) ... bleakness ... desolation ... plastic forks ...
