Title: DOS
Post by: jknilinux on January 12, 2010, 12:00:36 AM

Hey everyone,

Since DB works in windows 98, and I heard it's POSSIBLE to work in win95, could DB run in DOS? How about FreeDOS?

If you want to try this on a normal PC, try using DOSBox.

Probably not, but you could give it a shot.

What about the GUI? Could DB run in a command-line only environment?

DB2's GUI runs through the VB6 runtime libraries, which hook in to MFC I think.  So there might be some way to stub those GUI calls so they noop, but I've never tried anything like that before.  I'm not sure how you'd get it to work.

Is this in any way relevant? Are you trying to link up an ancient computer to your evosim, otherwise it would seem a lot of trouble for a small payoff.
