The program in question is _not_ a DOS program, instead it is a "Windows Console App", i. e., something that requires a running instance of "Windows" in order to be executed. The easiest solution probably is to try to get a "Windows XP" image to boot from a sufficiently big USB stick, and then run the program from there, instead of wasting a whole PC for this one-time action (searching, ordering, packaging, shipping, unboxing, disposing - lots of time, money, and electronic garbage wasted). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
