Chris - not quite right on Win98 and NT. NT boots to a 32 bit kernel which is completely new (i.e. not derived in any way from DOS), DOS commands are 'emulated' by a program which runs as a 32 bit NT application. Win95 and Win98 boot to a DOS-derived kernel which then runs the windowing interface, DOS commands are executed by the underlying OS directly (although in a virtual environment). This is why machine-dependent calls work in Win95 and Win98 but not in NT, the emulator won't let you get around the HAL.
