Some of you may already knwo about this but it was new to me - Dos Box, a program that is designed to emulate a real DOS box so you can play games and such that were made in the DOS days under XP.

Excellent program for using old software. I have the old Maxis SIM game of El-Fish and until I was pointed to this Prog. I had almost given up on ever playing with my fish and aquarium ever again. Very useful program for old time folks. >

I've had this emulator for a long time now, and I really like. Not for running old apps but the old games. Now I can play Hotroad, Goblins, the old Prince of Persia and Commander Keen again, to name a few.

You can find plenty of different emulators here: http://www.zophar.net
