I came across this while looking for different operating systems.
"The WinDos unit allows easy access to most of the functions provided by the MS-DOS operating system from 32-bit protected mode application. Also WinDos unit emulates MS-DOS functions under OS/2 and Win32 using standard API, provided by OS/2 and Win32 operating systems. Operations such as find file, disk size or status, time and date, get environment strings, and more are provided by the WinDos unit. It provides a PChar interface to the file handling functions." This is copied from the site. Does anyone know more about it?

heh, this is a unit for pascal to access standard dos api using pchar function variables instead of regular pascal string variables like the regular dos unit.
