Back in '86 I wrote a few applications in Dataease a first generation relational database with application builder front-end. Most of my apps bit the dust but I still use the one I wrote to manage household expenses. I have to...

VDOS is an extradordinary program. It allows old DOS programs to function on Windows 7, thus eliminating the need to set up Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode; and on Window 10 it eliminates the need to set up...

I am using vDos to run FoxPro Dos programs on Windows 10 (32 & 64 bit) and Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) on a local network. I wrote these programs over 25 years ago to use as retail pos and inventory control...

Great for DOS emulation, lightweight.

Works perfectly. Used it to resurrect our WAMPUM dBASE III clone from 1985. Everything works just as it did 32 years ago. Download WAMPUM from: ...

I have used Quicken almost since it was first published on MSDOS. I LOATHE all the Windows versions - yes, I have tried. When I moved to Win10 (64) I was going to find a way to run DOS Quicken or be damned...

Although I use Office in my Windows 7 environment, I still need to access files in WordStar and, believe it or not, Condor. vDos has been incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for providing this valuable product...

My wife, who is an accountant, relies on a DBASE III program circa 1986. Her trusty XP computer bit the dust a few months back and she replaced it with a shiny new computer running Windows 10 64-bit. This turned out to...

Having been a long-term user of DOSBox, I recently stumbled upon vDos, and was pleasantly surprised (***NOT*** about the vdos.info wbsite, stupid box-model makes many pages only partially visible...

vDOS works great, and I'm finding that it's a valuable daily tool. I struggled for a few years with DOSbox, and vDOS is light-years ahead in usability. vDOS runs all old-time DOS biz programs like VisiCalc...
vDos links and alternatives.
•
vDos at Sourceforge: Installation programs and source code up to version 2015.04.10, and a (now static) forum for questions or problems.
•
vDosWP: Comprehensive documented WP-tailored package by Edward Mendelson. WordPerfect for DOS, optionally PlanPerfect, WP Office Shell, and WP Editor.
•
dbDOS(v): Basically a frontend to manage(?) your DOS program collection(?). Versions 1-7 were DOSBox based. More recent dbDOSv versions use (a crippled) vDosPlus 2015 (see below).
•
DOSBox: DOS PC emulator for DOS gaming and so more to the hardware level, vDos initially derived from it. Some 5% of DOSBox code still contributes to vDos code base.
•
DOSBox-X: DOSBox fork, promoted to also support serious DOS programs. The “HAVE FUN WITH DOSBox-X !” notice at startup however still denotes its maintainers expertise and main userbase.
•
NTVDMx64: For those fancy able to start a DOS program in Windows Explorer. Poor performance, complex installation that can mess up your Windows system. And future Windows updates may break it altogether.
•
Tao ExDOS: Seemingly discontinued development (last real update in 2015). An enhancement of Windows NTVDM. So Windows 64-bit requires a virtual Windows 32-bit for ExDOS to run DOS applications.
•
vDosPlus: Obsolete vDos fork. Added support of LFN (Long File Names), IRQ1/INT9 keyboard hook for Visual Basic/QBasic (the IDE only), and more (bling).
