▲'''MS-DOS 7.1''' (not to be confused with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS_7 MS-DOS 7.1] built into older versions of Windows) is a bootleg of [[:Category:Bootlegs based on MS-DOS|MS-DOS]], which was created by China DOS Union. It released in 2004, and was added to the archive on November 28, 2022. It is one of the most famous [[:Category:Bootlegs based on MS-DOS|MS-DOS]] bootlegs.
== Description ==
MS-DOS 7.1 is a version of MS-DOS made by Microsoft in 1997. This version of DOS was never officially released as a standalone version, and was instead used in Windows 95 OSR 2 and Windows 98. As such, this bootleg attempts to make MS-DOS 7.1 easier to install and utilize as a standalone OS without having to use Windows 9x.
The OS itself is very flexible and has three installation types:
# Full, which includes several utilities
# DOS commands only, which only includes a basic install of DOS
# And Minimal, which only contains the absolute essentials.
You can also optionally install add-ons which will add several common DOS tools, as well as enable a Windows 9x-esque boot screen.
Other than that, most of the features are stock DOS.
== Changes from MS-DOS 7.1 (independent) ==
* All mentions of Windows 98 (the version this bootleg takes DOS from) have been replaced with "MS-DOS 7.1"
* The kernel (IO.SYS) has been patched to allow Windows 3.x to run properly in both standard and enhanced modes on this version of DOS
