Re: DOS Emulator

[Norman Bauman nbauman@xxxxxxxx]

Brian,

Yes, I saw DosBox mentioned in the New York Times, and downloaded it,
though I haven't tried it out yet. I was hoping that it would let me use my
old DOS batch files with timers that beep, using Norton Utilities,
Batchman, etc. They don't work under Windows.
