Is that true? Yes, it's a DOS program, but I've seen it running in a
DOS window under Win95, and think it unlikely it can't also be run
under even Vista. MS has always maintained backward compatibility (a
client of mine still uses a dBase II app compiled in 1982, and runs
it on WinXP).
And I thought they'd been working on a Windows port for, oh, the last
15 years or so?
There's a neat little utility called DosBox which allows dos-only
applications to run. It works wonderfully on WinXP. I don't have Vista
so I don't know if it will work there.
I wonder if it will allow Score to run on newer versions of Windows.
