A special plea to Kari, Carl, Robert and competent others:
At this point in time, it is miles easier to install OS X in
VirtualBox and get it running than it is to install Win 3.1 and DOS. The
reason is that it is a popular install, and numerous guides for dummies,
complete with links to the necessary binaries, are available. These are
almost one-button solutions.
We need the same idiot proof procedures for, at the very least,
VPC 2007/Additions/Win3.1/DOS and VPC
I know it's a lot to ask from the more competent members of the group !
But I'm begging, and I am convinced it will help ensure the lifetime of
our delightful but antiquated working environment.
May I suggest adding XyWrite to the pre-install?
And while we're at it, why not Adobe File Conversion Utilities for Win
3.1 and DOS, early Photoshop, and MS Office? Illustrator? Freehand? In
other words, a working software museum?
We need someone to make the images; someone to prepare the appropriate
webpage, and someone to host the material in some non-controversial
place.
