FreeDOS is an open-source
operating system designed to be compatible with the now-defunct MS-DOS. Three decades
have now passed since the FreeDOS project was first announced, and it
is still alive and well with a small community of developers and
users committed to running legacy DOS software, classic DOS games, and
developing modern applications that extend its functionality well beyond the
original MS-DOS. It may well be around in another 30 years.
