There are a number of dos applications written in borland C++ 4.51. I want to
convert these into .net; while maintaining the ability to run the
applications on dos machines. 8 1528
Sorry, the question was "is this possible and how" any tips for a hello world
app to try
Thanks

Hi H,
I doubt you can install .Net Framework on a pure DOS machine, but you can certainly create console applications running on Windows machines.

To run any .Net application you should have atleast .NEt framework
install. because .net framework given CLR which converts the IL code
into the machine dependent laguage.
So, as far as I know you must need .Net framework atleast to run even
console application

H,
The "oldest" Microsoft OS to run a .Net application are W'98 and NT4sp6
(and than not everything)
I hope this helps,

Hi Silent Ocean,
I may have chosen the wrong words, but what I meant is that since you can install .Net Framework on windows systems (with a few exceptions) console applications written for .net will run on windows machines.
I believe there is an exception to this since there are third party solutions that encapsulate .net framework inside their own executable making .net programs runable on non-.net systems.

The target pc is a nt workstation with sp6.
Ideally I want to write the console application using .Net however there
seams to be a problem with the .Net framework being on this platform.
I need to find a nt workstation pc to test.
any thoughts?
The extra info is that this is for an epos back office pc.

H,
Is it not cheaper to buy a new OS for that workstation than going through
the trouble of finding an equivalent PC to test, while I assume that the
trouble is in the Interop?
(I know that by instance CDO will work only on OS after NT5, however I don't
know really a list what does not work, if it does not work on win32/winFX
than it does for sure not work in Net otherwise you can mostly pass that
with API's.).
I hope this helps,
Cor
Upgrading to NT 5 is not an option.
I get the feeling that I will have to use vc++ 6.0 rather than .Net for the
console application.
However, it does help thanks
