DOS
programs can run on a Windows machine, Prior to Windows XP, the Windows
platform ran on top of the DOS. XP does not, but you can still run DOS based
programs on the embedded DOS virtual machine. It basically is a DOS
emulator.
If you want to run a MAC program you will need a MAC emulator.
As I have never used one, I cannot for certain vouch for the success of the
application.

Okay.
This is off topic, but Bavisoft, when will Chillingham II be released? This
is not complaining or bugging, I was wondering when it'll be out. Thanks

Mike,
We appreciate your desire to know and we wish we could give you an
exact date. But, alas, even we do not know for sure. We have scheduled
benchmark dates for certain aspects to be completed, but based on testing,
error analysis, etc... we have to add new benchmarks to the process which
ultimately extend the production time. Rest assured, progress is being made
and this forum will be one of first places an announcement is made. Our
website will be the first. Thanks for asking.

Arjan, you can still use DOS programs with XP.

Hi
I am a new subscriber to the Forum. I have a problem with the dectalk demo.
I don't get it to make that tones or talk as funny as it advertises.

You can run dos programs under XP but they don't run as smoothly. Try
dosbox (http://dosbox.sourecforge.net) only screenreaders don't read the
command line (I think it uses SDL) so you have to start it with the desired
program from the command line or run dialogue like c:\dosbox\dosbox
c:\snipehunt-sh.exe

Hey,
No one answered my question. Whether it was here or in another topic,
I asked what that "Vocalwriter" thing was, it was said in a topic. Does
someone know?
