Howdy All from AZ;

FYI:
I have found you need a dos emulator like DOSBOX
to run 16 bit applications under windows vista 64.
I have been able to successfully compile older dos
exe programs using powerbasic for dos under DOSBOX
from within Windows Vista 64.

MSDOS is the best program for me to record seismic or
whatever data logging needs to be done.

The rest of you probably laugh at this but I need
a machine dedicated to a single program and it
seems the newer OS like windows VISTA will not do this.
MSDOS seems the only way.

DOSBOX 7.xx is like freeware or donateware
right now but I suspect it will not always be so
as operating systems refuse to run older softwares.

comments welcome.

Best regards PSN;
