I remember someone try Windows 3.1 on FreeDOS, it's not practical to run an old Windows on it, but doesn't it mean FreeDOS is "LESS" than MS-DOS, not 100% compatible. >able to do it.

But I strongly feel FD-EMM386 not complete if it CAN'T do what MS CAN do. Sorry if I cause you trouble. But personally I feel that's no reason FreeDOS is inferior to MS-DOS.
