You might start by looking at DOSBox. DOSBox is a specialized emulator intended to let people play old DOS games with graphics and sound support on things that aren't DOS PCs. DOSBox is available for Windows, Linux, and OS/X. It implements an Intel x86 architecture CPU, graphics and sound support, and enough of DOS to run games. (I have an Android port of DOSBox and run some non-game DOS stuff on my 7" Android tablet using it. The tablet has an ARM Cortex 7 CPU, but DOSBox provides a virtual x86 processor and things work as expected.) See https://www.dosbox.com/ Lure of the Temptress is listed as supported: https://www.dosbox.com/comp_list.php?showID=164&letter=L You may not need full FreeDOS if what you want is to play old DOS games. > Brandon Taylor ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
