The fundamental problem is that XP does not have DOS. The "dos box" is a
DOS EMULATOR which does not support extended memory managers such as
Phar-Lap.

I am surprised to hear that the open Watcom system will run under XP. I've
been looking for a solution for a long time.

I just installed Microsoft Virtual PC on my XP box and am hoping that with
Win 98 on the virtual machine I can run my old codes. I haven't tried yet.
Note that Virtual PC WILL NOT run on XP home--it REQUIRES XP Pro.
