NewViews for DOS (NV1) runs on Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista and any Windows version that Microsoft has produced in the last 20 years.
DOS on the NT platform is not dead. It works. One of the reasons that the Windows NT platform is more stable than Windows 95, 98 and ME is that it does not allow an application to directly access the hardware. All calls that a program makes for disk, memory or screen access must be passed to Windows first, which in turn manages the call.
NewViews followed Microsoft's recommendations for DOS. If a DOS program was written to follow Microsoft rules back in the early '80s it will continue to work today. Programs like Lotus's 1-2-3 for DOS that directly accessed the disk and screen (for speed purposes) will not run under Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, etc.
