Hello, Donald.

As I don't run Windows at all (I use Linux for myself and OS/2 for the
BBS), I am probably not the person you want to talk to about this, but I
have heard stories that Windows 7 will not run 16-bit DOS stuff correctly
and that you will need to use DOSbox to use those programs.  Again, that's
what I've heard.

You might want to stop by the WIN95 (really, it's all Windows flavors in
discussion) echo and ask them there or ask in BBS_CARNIVAL as that might be
a more appropriate place....dunno where else though to look.

Later,
Sean
