Default Diacom in DOS window ?

Anybody running Diacom in a DOS window ? Just wondering if it works or if the computer needs to be booted in DOS.

Thanks

It doesn't work. It needs to be in a native DOS.

I've even tried to run it within a vmware DOS shell and that doesn't work.

My dual boot system works great.

If you're running Windows 95 or 98 you can add a couple of lines to your MSDOS.SYS file which will bring up a screen allowing you to boot directly to DOS when the computer is booted.

If you're running ME or XP you need to download a free file from a site, like TechTV, that will allow you to do the same thing.
