Over the last week or so I have been configuring this computer with a Windows
7 32 bit drive in an expansion bay so I can have the use of this XP system
while I transfer my radio programs over along with the other stuff that I
run on this computer.

Today I tried to move Binkd and TER500.  I found that Binkd will probably
work, but found that TER500 and TERMAIL will not work in a Windows 7
environment even when run with compatability checked for running as an XP
Program.  This was the reason, (I believe), that many years ago after my
"big"
XP deskop went south I brought a couple of progam over to this computer, they
would not run on Windows 7.


There is no DOS environment IE a DOS OS in Windows 7.

So now basicilly I'm screwed one of two ways, either stay with XP for as long
as possible or try and find a program for FIDO mail for windows 7.  I know
there is a program called GOLDED or something like that but there is no
configuration for it and I could do nothing with it.  And some help that I was
expecting for it never happened either.  (Or do I just say bye-bye to FIDO
after 30 plus years?)  (Put the dog "to sleep">.


Anyone have any suggestions?  Got a program that will really work that has a
Windows 7 install program?  Would be nice if it worked with my external
tagline program but who knows?

Boy it's a real shame no one ever reverse engineered TER500 for Windows after
the original programmer walked away from it many years ago.  With the exception
of Bluewave, this was one of the best programs I've used.
