(I am > on FreeBSD 12.1pl8-amd64) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS_7 "MS-DOS 7 is a computer operating system which has never been released separately by its creator Microsoft,[1] but which corresponds to the basic (real mode) of the Windows 9x family of operating systems. Windows 95 reports to be MS-DOS 7.0, while Windows 98 and Windows 98SE report as 7.1." Does the software require Windows 95 or newer, or will it only run on Windows 95, 98, and 98SE? David
