D-Fend Reloaded is a graphical environment for DOSBox. DOSBox emulates a complete computer including the DOS commandline and allows to run nearly all old DOS based games on modern hardware with any of the newer Windows versions.
With DOSBox there is no need to worry about memory managers or free conventional RAM, but the setup of DOSBox is still a bit complicated. The configuration of DOSBox via textbased setup files might be difficult for beginners. D-Fend Reloaded may help and create these files for you. Additionally the D-Fend Reloaded installation package contains DOSBox (including all lanuage files currently available), so there is only one installation to be run and no need to link D-Fend Reloaded with DOSBox manually.

Windows 1.0 was the first release of what eventually made it onto almost every desktop computer in the entire world. Many of you are probably unaware of this release from 1985; conceived from ideas found in the original Lisa/Macintosh and Xerox Star system, Windows 1.0 was Microsoft's attempt at a graphical multitasking operating environment for the IBM PC.
The earliest known appearance of 'Microsoft Windows' was in a 1983 Byte Magazine, and it was heavily promoted at the Fall 1983 Comdex. It was marketed as a response to GUI environments such as Digital Research GSX, VisiCorp Visi On, and Apple Macintosh, although the first completed release was not until late 1985.
Windows 1.0x features co-operative multitasking, tiled windows, ability to launch and integrate with DOS programs, runs on top of existing DOS, supports 8088 based PCs with IBM CGA, Hercules Monochrome, and IBM EGA video.
It was followed up by Windows 2.x.

'DR5' is the earliest release known to still exist. If you think you have found an earlier build, please see our contributions section!
This was the 5th pre-release of Windows given to developers. It contained sample applications, some with source code. This requires MS-DOS 2.x or 3.0 to run. A serial or bus mouse is also required.
CGA and Hercules graphics support was included in both.
Installation instructions
PCem is known to run this. You will need the Generic XT BIOS ROM and PCem 0.5 or better. You will need to create a hard disk in PCem to use, 32 sectors, 16 heads and 30 cylinders will get you an 8MB hard disk. You will need to install DOS before Windows DR 5.
To switch from default CGA graphics to Hercules, do the following on command line:
- path C:windowsbin
- cd C:Windowstest
- drivers HERCURLES
You can swap back by running drivers IBMCOLOR to go back to CGA.
