   Well NOW I'm in trouble   
   15 Apr 15 17:04:35   
   
   Over the last week or so I have been configuring this computer with a Windows   
   7 32 bit drive in an expansion bay so I can have the use of this XP system   
   while I transfer my radio programs over along with the other stuff that I   
   run on this computer.   
      
   Today I tried to move Binkd and TER500.  I found that Binkd will probably   
   work, but found that TER500 and TERMAIL will not work in a Windows 7   
   environment even when run with compatability checked for running as an XP   
   Program.  This was the reason, (I believe), that many years ago after my "big"   
   XP deskop went south I brought a couple of progam over to this computer, they   
   would not run on Windows 7.   
      
      
   There is no DOS environment IE a DOS OS in Windows 7.   
      
   So now basicilly I'm screwed one of two ways, either stay with XP for as long   
   as possible or try and find a program for FIDO mail for windows 7.  I know   
   there is a program called GOLDED or something like that but there is no   
   configuration for it and I could do nothing with it.  And some help that I was   
   expecting for it never happened either.  (Or do I just say bye-bye to FIDO   
   after 30 plus years?)  (Put the dog "to sleep">.   
      
      
   Anyone have any suggestions?  Got a program that will really work that has a   
   Windows 7 install program?  Would be nice if it worked with my external   
   tagline program but who knows?   
      
   Boy it's a real shame no one ever reverse engineered TER500 for Windows after   
   the original programmer walked away from it many years ago.  With the exception   
   of Bluewave, this was one of the best programs I've used.
