Hello,
I want to run an old Dos program, I believe 16 bit, on win 7 64 bit and possibly Win 7 32 bit. The program is dBase based
database program for photographers. I currently use Win XP Pro SP2 and SP3 with no problems. I current run it on a network
where all the files reside on one computer (named - Office) and the other 4 workstations I have on the network, read and
write data to the folder/hard drive. I access the "Office" computer from each of my workstations by running a batch file from
my desktop. That opens the program "Studio Access" on each workstation and like I said - each workstation reads and writes
data to the "Office" computer. No data resides on the workstations - only the batch file. The batch file looks to the exe file on
the "Office" computer to start the "Studio Access" program on each workstation. Here is the batch file
@ECHO OFF
NET USE LPT1: \\WOFFICE\HP_LJ1200 > NUL
NET USE LPT2: \\WOFFICE\OFFICE_PIN > NUL
NET USE O: \\WOFFICE\C_DRIVE > NUL
O:
CD\STUDIO
SA NO dellxps
c:
NET USE LPT2: /D > NUL
NET USE LPT1: /D > NUL
NET USE O: /D /YES > NUL
Will DosBox or any other program help me run "Studio Access" on Win 7 - preferrably 64 bit or at least 32 bit. I hope I've
explained my problem well since I'm not too knowledgable on operating systems and networking. Someone else set this up.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
