- Dear Vaune,
- "Real DOS" refers to owning and running a copy of MS-DOS or PC-DOS
- on their system. With OS/2 and Windows 95, IBM and Microsoft have
- written emulation versions of DOS. Certain utilties programs, such as
- The Norton Utilties and Central Point Utilties, will not run with OS/2 or
- Windows 95. Since OS/2 does exhibit the HPFS (Hierarchical Performance
- File System), IBM recommends that you create a separate hard disk
- partition with a copy of "real DOS". I can imagine that Executor users
- will find this problem with Windows '95. Thank you.
- Sincerly,
- Joseph R. Pena
