increasingly more common 64-bit version. Evoking DataPerfect
in the 64-bit version displays a message "Please contact your
software vendor for a compatible version of this application".
To run DataPerfect on Windows 7:
1) Install the 32-bit version referenced above.
2) Run DataPerfect under DOSBox, a free open source application
available here:
http://www.dosbox.com/
3) Download the free virtual XP emulator for Windows 7 available
via a free download from the Microsoft web site. This requires
Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate. It creates a fully
licensed virtual Windows XP Pro SP3 box inside of Windows 7. I
understand this virtual environment runs 32-bit applications but
would love to hear this confirmed from someone who's actually
used it.
DataPerfect will also not run in the 64-bit versions of Windows XP
or Windows Vista.

I've been wondering about this in light of Windows7 appearing.
My guru assures me a DOS window can be opened in that OS.
Look forward to comments from the group.
All the best to all,

The latest security vulnerability for Windows is apparently 17 years old,
and the workaround for the moment is to disable access by DOS programs (16
bit programs) [http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=5307&tag=nl.e589]. Does
anyone know what the implications of this are for DP?
Thanks
