Hi Dark,
Rich de steno wrote his DOS games in Borland Turbo C in the 1990's
He has re-written the two games in C Plus Plus for Windows.

Subject: [Audyssey] Technical questions about the Mars game
I've just tried the mars game. Nice, and rather fun, but that's actually
not why I'm writing this message.
one problem the developer of Eamon deluxe is having is that sinse Eamon
deluxe needs to use a doss like interface to run the eamon games, the only
option for running it in windows 7 is using dosbox, which is obviously not
accessible, because windows 7 doesn't have a console window mode for
launching 16 bit applications.
yet Mars does! seem to run in a console window, or something very like it,
and obviously the original was made for Dos, yet this version now works on
post xp windows.
has Richard desteno got some sort of code to run doss programs in windows?
could this be added to other games?
If I am utterly wrong and in fact mars is has been completely and utterly
rewritten so as to be a windows application, and doesn't in fact use the
console window at all just let me know. if however there is a way round
this it could be a great way for running Eamon deluxe accessibly in
windows 7, ---- and maybe some other doss games too assuming Richard would
be willing to share his knolidge.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
