Line 1: The '''MS-DOS API''' is an API used in [[MS-DOS]], [[PC-DOS]] and other compatible operating systems. ~~This~~The MS-DOS API has been extended with the so-called [[DOS extender]]s. DOS extenders such as [[DOS/4GW]] have been used in computer games written for DOS. ==Current state of the MS-DOS API== The MS-DOS API lives on in [[Microsoft Windows]] as a subsystem on [[cmd.exe]]. Modern movements to maintain compatibility of the MS-DOS API involve [[FreeDOS]] and [[DOSBox]]. They are both an installable operating system and an emulator respectively. DOSBox has even extended the MS-DOS API to other chipsets outside of [[x86]]. The other chipsets DOSBox has extended MS-DOS's API support to include [[PowerPC]], [[ARM Architecture]], [[MIPS]], [[SPARC]], etc.
