2 alternatives:

* Install the Windows Phone development kit.
* Then install Virtual PC (free download from MS) and XP Mode (also a
free download). Then you can run XP, or DOS or anything, under Windows
8.x.

Bit overkill, though!

DosBox is easier and smaller.

But the thing is, and yes the editors are a bit basic but that is why
I said "a full-featured word processor" -- I'm using Word 6 for DOS --
is that when you boot into DOS, you can't Alt-Tab to the browser for
a quick look at Twitter and then find that 4 hours magically
disappeared.

This happens to me every day. :-(
