OH Crudd!! I thought there was a catch.
Perhaps it would be good to get a machine with lots of gigs of ram,
then install a virtual xp machine upon it and do it that way.

Hi Stephen,
That depends on which version of Windows 7 you get. If you get the
standard 32-bit edition all or most of your old 16-bit Dos games
should run.
For example, right now I have Piledriver and Eamon Deluxe both
running on my Compaq laptop running Windows 7 32 bit edition and those
Dos based games run fine. I also have tried Scare and Dos Frotz on the
same machine with no problems.
However, older 16-bit games will not run on 64-bit versions of Windows
7 at all. I should know. I have a Toshiba here with a 64-bit version
of Windows 7, soon to be Windows 8, and nothing written in the 80's
and 90's will run on it.
Cheers!
