FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC
compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate
programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project.
These days, there are three main uses of FreeDOS:
1. To run classic DOS games (like Doom, MAME, etc.)
2. To run business software that only supports DOS
3. To support an embedded DOS system, such as a computerized cash
register or till
You can run FreeDOS on pretty much anything. While can run FreeDOS on
a dedicated PC, now it's most often run inside a PC emulator. You can
find PC emulators for all computer platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac.) If
you are new to DOS, we recommend you use an emulator to install and
boot FreeDOS. You can even run FreeDOS using a PC emulator written in
Java, right in your web browser!
FreeDOS is open source software; you can view and edit our source
code. Most FreeDOS programs are distributed under the GNU General
Public License ("GNU GPL") which means they are not only open source
software, but they are Free software. Because of this, FreeDOS would
not exist were it not for all the people who contribute to it. Even if
you didn't write code, you helped out the FreeDOS Project by
submitting comments and bug reports.
We welcome new members to FreeDOS. You can help contribute to the
FreeDOS Project by downloading our latest release and telling us what
you think. We have a bug tracking system that helps you report
problems and submit requests, and otherwise tell us how to improve
FreeDOS. By participating in the development and debugging process,
you help everyone.
