Thanks Chris, others. The kid is actually now investigating just using the dos command shell under windows 7 for the job. I have no idea how complete that shell is, I do not use windows. still it may be simpler than either an emulator or a completely different dos animal. He is doing a code writing assignment for school, not really learning to use dos. Also I am told he does have a working cd /DVD drive in that laptop, so just burning the image to that format should he try freedos would work too. Kare
