Editing FreeDOS (section)

=== MS-DOS and Win32 console ===
FreeDOS is mostly compatible with MS-DOS. It supports COM executables, standard DOS executables and Borland's [[16-bit]] [[DOS Protected Mode Interface|DPMI]] executables. It is also possible to run [[32-bit]] DPMI executables using [[DOS extender]]s. The operating system has several improvements relative to MS-DOS, mostly involving support for newer standards and technologies that did not exist when Microsoft ended support for MS-DOS, such as [[internationalization]], or the [[Advanced Power Management]] [[Terminate-and-stay-resident program|TSRs]].<ref name="Techworld"/> Furthermore, with the use of HX DOS Extender, many [[Windows Console]] applications function properly in FreeDOS, as do some rare [[GUI]] programs, like [[QEMM]] and [[Bochs]].<ref name="Grech_2014"/>
