Re: [SIAMulations] DOS box

Thanks, but I'm not very aware of how to do that :-((

I get error message 'Can't find dpmi16bi.ovl' when i try to run CL57, would
this be relevant to vitual memory?. I have 7 other similar sims which are
all OK .

Have checked back through previous messages and thought there was a comment
about getting Full screen on Vista but couldn't find it. I'm aware Alt/enter
gets it on XP.

Regards
John Firth

I'm running Vista on a desktop and using Dosbox but not all simulations work on it it seems. I'm particularly thinking of CL57 which I can't get to run on it....

... Yes, indeed it would. That file must be in the directory/folder from which CL57 is run, as must the file RTM.EXE. Both would have been supplied at the same...
