In other words, it's a DOS program, not a native colorforth. Am I wrong? Then when and if it runs you can save it as a native colorforth floppy with SAVE. > lol I do remember trying to run the image on a 486 running win95 shortly after there was a public version on the web. It's a mistake as some will pick up right away, but what did I know, I executed the thing in windows, I'm talking about a finished colorforth.com dos file... and it ran. It's the only time i've run the DOS.com file type with exception of trying to do so in XP, and that is a totally HUGH mistake. Took me hours to figure out how to get the computer to stop booting in DOS mode. I believe you are correct, Charlie, as I've never done this myself but have read Chuck explain that very process, just as you have it. > I hope that helps, > Charley. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > Main web page - http://www.colorforth.com > > -- Raymond St. Marie ii,
