DOS & OS/2 Applications

Preserving Legacy DOS and OS/2 Systems

Across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, research, and logistics, many organisations still rely on applications built for DOS or OS/2. These systems often support critical operations, from production line controllers to custom-built utilities, and cannot easily be replaced.

The challenge is that the hardware and operating systems they run on are decades old. Original vendors no longer provide support, replacement parts are rare, and integration with modern systems is increasingly difficult. Despite this, the applications remain vital to daily business operations.

At Nelop Systems, we specialise in preserving, virtualising, and emulating DOS and OS/2 applications so that they continue to run reliably without the need for a costly rewrite.

  • Virtualisation, Move workloads into virtual machines for easier management and stability.

  • Emulation, Recreate legacy hardware environments so applications continue to operate as designed.
