All 32 bit Windows 7/8/vista/XP/2000/2003/2008       will work with NetFoss. There is no special configuration to run 16 bit       software on 32-bit Windows, as they all support the NTVDM (Virtual DOS       Machine). If you wish to run DOS doors on a 64 bit version of Windows, you can       install a VM such as VMware player, which is freeware, or even XP mode from       Microsoft which is free for Windows 7 users (except for the home version).              I think the best choice is to not use a VM, and just run a 32-bit version of       Windows as this is the simplest solution and also faster.              Regards, Mike       NetFoss Developer              --- BBBS/NT v4.10 Dada-1        * Origin: X-TReMe BBS - Web BBS: http://xtremebbs.dyndns.info (2:562/140)    |
