Win9X, just as he said at begging - HAS DOS and DOS is used to boot Windows environment.
So to answer EoF, if you copy rest of DOS stuff from Win9X tool foldedr >> OldMSDos folder into C:\Windows\Command folder, and if you break boot up of Windows and make proper change and install necessary drivers, you have DOS machine out of Win9X machine. No, you will not get DOS 6.22, but DOS 7.0.
Of course, you have to know a thing or two about DOS, how to utilize memory, load drivers into high memory, so that your program will have enough memoty to start.

None of the games I tested from Abandonia didn't fail to load on computer setup like that. Even if you load windows, and then switch into DOS, only program what was left running is Win, which took about 3KB. To see what's really taking your memory in DOS environment (this will not work in DOSBox) just use mem command with parameter c (type: mem /c).

dosraider, we are talking about Win9X, which has nothing to do with NT kernel.
