Actually, I assumed Voyteks' "Windoze" to include 16bit DOSes ( for me, "Windoze" includes 16bit DOS and Win 3.1x, and DOS bootability and coexistence with OS2 is still regrettably important ). Obviously for others, "Windoze" doesn't include 16bit DOS.

These are from dos, so why do you need it? -Chris WarpSpeed Computers - The Graham Utilities for OS/2.
