It's always fun having one. But not when you're missing some helpful programs for it. What I'd really like is an ISO with the following commands/programs:
- dBase
- DOSSHELL
- MOVE
- HELP (MUST BE DOS 6.22!!!!)

I have said ISO, but I can't get it to boot in Parallels or VMWare. I even tried VirtualBox.
Didn't work.
It looks like you need to get a bootdisk floppy, boot the virtual machine from that, and then load a setup executable from someplace.

Dosshell ... would technically be pirated software unless you got DOS 6.x with it legally. 
What I do when I play around with DOS is make a hard disk image and install onto that. I use Bochs or Qemu myself, and both boot from such a HD ... I think VMware should too. You'll need a bootdisk to install.

Isn't DOS technically abandonware now... since they don't actaully make the DOS operating system anymore but base Windows around it? After all, since Windows 95, the Windows series has not been just a bunch of shells... it has been a fully fledged operating system... one of the most successful of all OSes...

I think copyrights expire after 25 years unless the holder decrees otherwise. In fact, if they abandon and withdraw an old program, it becomes illegal to use it at all in some cases. It's not fair or customer-friendly, but it's the law

VMware might be able to help... but I haven't had much luck with the VMware sound card features... I'll look into it.
