Running Dos window on XP.

[charles kuchar]

Is there any good info about this. I have a DOS program used for treatment
plans for our students that only runs on DOS. We have about 200 students
and the company want about $30k to upgrade to a windows version... I can
either maintain a Windows 98se workstation on my network or figure out a way
to run this program under DOS emulation somehow with XP or 2003 terminal
services. Any ideas out there? Thanks, charlie

Have you tried running this in a DOS window? It may very well work,
even without playing with some of the emulation properties of the DOS
box...

First, charlie@removethis, this is the wrong forum for your question. You
want an XP forum.

Under Windows XP, you want compatibility mode. See
