Well it's either going to be easy for you, or a total pain in the ... One way to get it to work: 1 - Make a DOS boot floppy on a Win 98 machine (call this a:) 2 - copy ansi.sys from c:\windows\command\ansi.sys to a: 3 - create a config.sys file with the line (no quotes): "device = ansi.sys" 4 - download and copy capagnu.exe to a: 5 - reboot your computer with this floppy and type capagnu There may be other ways to do it, but with this method you can probably play on any PC with a floppy drive regardless of what OS is present.
