Thanks, that makes sense. I'm not sure about running dos aplications in xp. I've tried a couple of games like fallthrough and annacrion, but they ran incredibly slowly and had problems crashing. The only time I've ever got Dos applications to work properly in windows is when they've come with a pre-customized version of dosbox, and I don't unfortunately know enough about dos to try and work through dosbox myself to get something like fallthrough running correctly.
the only dos games I've successfully run are the infocom ones, and that's entirely thanks to win frotz. Beware the Grue!
