OT: Einstein Writer under QEMU
I'm trying to help someone run Einstein Writer under QEMU. I set up a virtual machine and installed FreeDos on it. I found a demo of Einstein which is supposed to be a running version of it. When I start it up, I get a few English words and a lot of junk on the screen. I assume I am missing installing Hebrew support in the virtual video card. I did a web search and found a wikipedia entry for codepage 862. I tried to load it with the FreeDos command display con=(ega,862,1). It loads, but I still get garbage. Any ideas? Alternatively is there a way to convert EinsteinWriter files to something useable without Einstein itself? Thanks, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

To answer my own question, I found a dos boot disk complete with the necessary files and Einstein all on it. It was designed for a different virtualization system, but it works with QEMU: http://masa.googlepages.com/eini.zip Alternatively is there a way to convert EinsteinWriter files to something useable without Einstein itself? Still looking for an answer. Thanks, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
