Google is not really your friend, but it can come in handy.
PC World had this to say:
"You can launch most DOS apps in a 32-bit version of Windows 7 simply by
double-clicking the DOS program's .exe or .com file. If it doesn't work, or if
there are problems, right-click the file and select /Properties./ Click the
/Compatibility /tab. Check the /"Run this program in compatibility mode for"
/option and select an older version of Windows. You may have to do some
experimenting to find the right one."

Hi topbander,
Once upon a time I got fairly good designing quad antennas on Necwire2. I
still have many of those designs on various 3 1/2" floppies with the
programs. Am I dating myself? Anyway that was about the only antenna design
program I managed. It requires a DOS based computer like Windows XP/etc.
I'm not sure if Windows 7 is still capable of running DOS. On Craig's List
can be found various computer that have Win7 but I need to know if they are
DOS capable so I can manage some antenna design work. Like I say I just
have not have any luck with newer stuff I know is available and have even
tried without success.
Any answers?
