Will I be able to run Supercalc 5 on Windows XP?

Hello

I need to run SuperCalc 5 (a DOS program) on my new Windows XPmachine.
Anyone any experience of this?

I assume printing might be a problem as DOS programs worked directly with
the printer port? Will I be able to print from Supercalc?

Any tips would be most appreciated.

SuperCalc 5 runs fine in a Command Prompt window.
I have not been able to print directly from SC5.
However if you print to a file and then open the file
with Notepad, a small amount of editing will allow
the data to be printed.
