can you point me to an emulator that has windows binaries that can be used by a 
business person for more than personal use

virtualbox isn't going to do it, especially since the GPL better-licensed Open 
Source Edition isn't made to compile under windows. oracle - sigh.

yes, I am trying to use legacy DOS programs in win7.  I personally think they 
will only work in 32-bit 7.  most systems you buy on the market today are 
64-bit (for obvious reasons).

so it looks like I may have to use a working emulator.  maybe.

qemu (dur to some of its content) and virtualbox are out (due to lack of 
windows support), unless someone has got a windows version of virtualbox.
maybe I will go with some version of vmware.

I need to run DJGPP tools and apps on windows basically.

Let me give you more useable answers.

Are you trying to use legacy DOS programs in Win7?

I know thar Qemu used to work grat, and it is actively developed. It 
will give you a nice emulated machine with a NIC emulation. VirtualBox 
should work too, and should be much more easy. Both have nice vesa graphics.

Neither will give you shared folders, you will have to use network only 
access. Probavly the easy way to instal is with www.netbootdisk.com

If you have more problems, please ask. I will be interesting in solving 
that issue.

Alain
