Does autoexec.bat count as Real DOS mode?

[MCS]

I have a little DOS utility I need to run often but the readme file states that it needs to be run in Real DOS mode, not a DOS Prompt under Windows. This involves booting from a boot disk every time, which can be a pain. I wonder, can I put this util into my autoexec.bat (Windows98SE) and run it every time I boot up?

Thanks 🙂

It ought to work - thats where some real mode drivers are put, autoexec.bat.

Anybody else?

Real Mode DOS just means when win.com isn't running.

Autoexec runs before Win.com does, so it should be fine.

But once win.com loads you aren't in real mode DOS anymore...
