VM help

Does anyone know of a VM utility that will allow for a MS-DOS environment to be ran on a Win2K machine?

I have an ancient program that I can't get to run from the CMD prompt. I can run it from a COMMAND prompt under Win95/98, but I would rather do it under Win2K if at all possible, instead of having to dual boot just for this one program.

Any ideas?
 
Did you try running it under command.com in Win2k? In NT cmd.exe is 32-bit and command.com is the original 16-bit version. But if the program needs direct hardware access (as many old DOS programs do) there's no way it'll work, that sort of thing just isn't allowed in NT.
 
I did... but no luck.

I know that you put environment variables for the CMD prompt in CONFIG.NT, but where do you put them for the COMMAND prompt? In CONFIG.SYS?
