Re: Dr Dos vs Freedos
Originally MS-DOS was intended to be a working framework that could keep running on any PC with a 8086-family microchip. It rivaled other working frameworks composed for such PCs, for example, CP/M-86 and UCSD Pascal. Every PC would have its own particular unmistakable equipment and its own particular variant of MS-DOS, a circumstance like the one that existed for CP/M, with MS-DOS copying an indistinguishable arrangement from CP/M to adjust for various equipment stages. Similarity comes soon after power and adaptability and before code enhancement issues. Yet, in the event that these components will get actualized in FreeDOS some discover day, they ought to be executed both ways In spite of the fact that this is an enormous show, it is still known to be inadequate (particularly in the CP/M, Multiuser DOS, and FlexOS ranges) and a portion of the stuff is mystery. Because of the absence of discharge dates for some of the issues, attempted to orchestrate the different OS pieces by their BDOS adaptation, be that as it may, this brought about a few irregularities in the course of events of Concurrent DOS also, Multiuser DOS, as the BDOS levels between the single client (10xxh) and multi client (14xxh) issues are not straightforwardly tantamount, despite the fact that the OS have been in part in view of similar sources. For an unadulterated sequence this likely needs some re-game plans and more research when all is said in done.
