Hi Dark, I'll do that. I might write the author and see if I can beta test Aemon while I'm at it. I am curious what sort of Windows 7 and Windows 8 compatibility it does or doesn't have. I know for certain it won't run on 64-bit editions simply because 64-bit Windows doesn't have 16-bit compatibility without running Microsoft Virtual PC or VMWare's VMWare Player, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with 32-bit versions.
In fact, I'm a bit surprised the amount of backwards compatibility that remains in Windows 8. That is the 32-bit version I'm talking about of course. So far I've gotten some Dos games like Piledriver to run without issue provided I turn off User Account Control. I've got a number of audio games running on it so I think as long as people run the 32-bit version they'll be in good shape. Unfortunately, if someone buys a new PC, which they are probably going to want to do anyway, they will be screwed since all the new PCs that will be shipping Windows 8 will be 64-bit only so I've heard.
