Nick,

NA>I think I posted before about this, at least in the D'Bridge echo, that ther
NA>is a Sourceforge project porting the NTVDM subsystem of 32-bit Windows, over
NA>to 64-bit. The NTVDM system is the DOS-emulator portion of Windows.

NA>https://sourceforge.net/projects/nxvdm/

NA>This means that 16-bit MS-DOS programs can now run on 64-bit Windows.

NA>I have this installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop for testing and was able
NA>to install and run D'Bridge, Renegade and Searchlight. Batch files and the
NA>like seem okay. The real test for me here will be the dialup modem, FOSSIL a
NA>Door games; and a Windows-based Telnet server that passes the network socket
NA>and handle to the NET2BBS program which is what my BBS starts-up from.

NA>Anyone else try this out yet?

  I haven't, but it sounds promising.

Daryl
