Hi, I have a couple of DOD programs I run in DOSBox. I have the linux version and those programs are tsr. I run them both at the same time in a DOSBox window. Good luck with your project. 73, Bill KU8H bark less - wag more On 8/25/20 5:01 PM, Terry Burge wrote: Hi topbander, Once upon

Google is not really your friend, but it can come in handy. PC World had this to say: "You can launch most DOS apps in a 32-bit version of Windows 7 simply by double-clicking the DOS program's .exe or .com file. If it doesn't work, or if there are problems, right-click the file and select /Pro
