Either Tasc (or some follow-up company ?) have recently released version 2 of
their Tasc Chess CD, including Chessica and the Chess Tutorial for DOS *and*
Windows. IIRC, the 1st version included only a DOS version of the Tutorial. I
know a windows version of it which was included with the USCF Chess program, but
it looks like this version now is another new one, probably a bit improved
graphically. For some reason, this new product isn't mentioned on the
www.tasc.nl site, but some online stores have it. For example:
