on, say, 64-bit windows 7, can you execute 32-bit CWSDPMI DOS apps
compiled with DJGPP in a CMD.exe shell?
can you execute the DJGPP toolset in a CMD.exe shell?


what about 32-bit windows 7?

has anybody tried?

64-bit windows 7 does not come with command.com, neither
(historically) has any 64-bit windows version.
I was going to utilize this information to base my purchase decision
on a new computer.

should I just stay with venerable old XP 32-bit?
