- You will also need an 386 or higher and enough memory to enter Enhanced mode.
- If you can do that then you should also make an PIF-file for you DOS-apps
- where you tell Windows to display it in a window by default. You can always
- use Alt-Enter to switch anyway. If you also have a Win 3.1 video driver
- and mouse driver you will also be able to use the mouse in a DOS window!
-
- BTW. Some graphical DOS apps (CGA modes?) can be run in a window. But you
- will have to wait a few minutes for the screen redraws. So you will need
- a very fast computer.
