Hi, 4DOS is still around but unsupported. It runs under Win9X and XP, but for XP 4NT is probably better. I assume it would run in dosemu under Linux but I haven't tested. I don't know about FreeDOS. JP Software stopped developing it many years ago but some in Bulgaria took over development. I don't know if it's open source or not, but apparently the source was released by JP Software. Look here: http://4dos.hit.bg/ Also, you can still get Wordperfect for DOS but you have to buy it. http://wpdos.org/ I verified that WP for DOS works fine with Speakup.
