Re: running DOS programs - failure

DOSbox is getting a lot of PR lately:

DOS Emulator - Runs some DOS games better than Windows
Want an easy way to run some DOS games in Windows better than 
Windows does? Try DOSBox. It works in Win95, 98, and ME, but is 
probably more helpful for Windows XP/2000 users who don't have a 
"real" version of DOS on their machines, DOSBox is a DOS 
emulator, meaning it simulates DOS on your computer. (Similarly 
to Microsoft's "Command Prompt", but better.) It includes 
SoundBlaster support, and is constanly being improved to work 
with more games. If a game doesn't work in WinXP, try running it 
in DOSBox instead! (Also try VDMSound, listed below!)

      Select your OS (probably "Windows") to download DOSBox 
(478k)
