Jim,
First ran DR-Dos when it was introduced as an alternative to MS-Dos.
Last week I couldn't find the MS-Dos 6.22 disks, so I downloaded the latest
DR-Dos (ver 7.xx) used it to run TR for the contest.
Absolutely no problem & defaulted to a dual-boot system to boot.
Adding a set of DR-Dos installation disks to my "tool kit".
