I am running 25 year old dBase IV applications in DOSBOX and they
seem to think I am still running DOS. The only thing I am missing
is the PROMPT tricks in ANSI.SYS

You can run dosbox to load freedos, or an actual version of DOS under
it, and get ansi.sys that way. A bit of a pain, but, it's possible to
do.

There are still a lot of "text" things you can do in DOS that
Windows can't do.

Yep.
