Tao ExDOS enables users of DOS applications to work with these applications on new operating systems. Using the built-in Virtual 8086 mode of the x86 CPU, Tao ExDOS enables DOS and 16-bit Windows applications (that run under DOS) to run effectively in 32-bit Windows desktop environments, including Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2000 and Windows Terminal Server 2003/2008.

The 32-bit WoW translation layer thunks 16-bit API routines. 32-bit DOS emulation is present for DOS Protected Mode Interface (DPMI) and 32-bit memory access. This layer converts the necessary extended and expanded memory calls for DOS functions into Windows NT memory calls. wowexec.exe is the emulation layer that emulates 16-bit Windows.
DOS/32 has been commercially available since 1996. As of May 2002, it was released to the public in the form of "Liberty Edition" along with its complete source code under terms similar to the Apache License of the time, [a] allowing unrestricted, royalty-free distribution with certain provisions regarding reference to it in documentation and the naming of derived software.
Based on the popular DOSBox, dbDOS quickly became an easy way to enable virtually any DOS-based application on Microsoft's Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, both 32- and 64-bit versions of the operating systems. With enhanced support for dBASE III, dBASE IV (Version 1, 2, 3), and dBASE V for DOS, dbDOS ...
Cross-platform/POSIX API: binary for 32-bit Raspberry Pi 4/400 GPL3: ee9 V11 May 15, 2024: English Electric KDF9: Cross-platform/POSIX API: binaries for 64-bit Raspberry Pi 4/400, Intel macOS Mojave through Sonoma, ARM macOS Sonoma, and 64-bit Intel Linux (also runs under FreeBSD and Windows 10/Windows 11 with WSL). Includes a Pascal cross ...
Although Windows XP could emulate DOS, it could not run many of its applications as they ran only in real mode to directly access the computer's hardware, and Windows XP's protected mode prevented such direct access for security reasons. [7] [8] MS-DOS continued to receive support until the end of 2001, [9] and all support for any DOS-based ...
The SysWOW64 folder located in the Windows folder on the OS drive contains several applications to support 32-bit applications (e.g. cmd.exe, odbcad32.exe, to register ODBC connections for 32-bit applications). 16-bit legacy applications for MS-DOS and early versions of Windows are usually incompatible with 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, 7 ...
Many guest operating systems can be run using the emulator including DOS, several versions of Linux, Xenix, Microsoft Windows, BSDs and Rhapsody OS (precursor of Mac OS X Public Beta). Bochs runs on many host operating systems, including Android OS, Linux, macOS, PlayStation 2, Windows, and Windows CE along with its derivatives.
