If you think about a OS, its purpose is to provide a framework to access

features of a computer such as disk, keyboard, screen, printers, io ports

with public hooks that everyone can connect to. So one company could write a

word processor, spread sheet, another a database such as vfp that could be

compiled to run on multiple os's. I'm one of those folks that Bill Gates

hijacked his original DOS from the public domain.

Install VMWare and emulate Windows any version. The app should be good to

run forever.
