I got my DOS back! Thanks!!!

Thanks to all that helped with my problem running true DOS programs in XP.
The answer was to download and run DOSBOX, it's free and painless to
dl/install.
Now I cant wait to find my old dos manuals and remember all the cool stuff
you could do quick and simple before Gates et al bloated, bungled and
bastardized everything.

Remember when it was a goal to minimize code? I guess the next generation
of Windows will figure out a way to keep dosbox from working.

Problem with Dosbox is that it is an emulation of Dos so it runs a bit on
the slow side. I use it for old dos games though, it's like playing on a
386.
