The DOS in the NT is not the same DOS as found in Windows 95/98.. >You cannot create a start up disk to boot NT..... I keep seeing this issue come up and I have to apologize for not being able to help out. I don't understand the issues very well, and I don't have any of the tools I used when I wrote this program. Also I no longer use any of the microsoft OS's and have never used Windows so I'm pretty helpless here. But I hope you are able to solve this problem. The only thing I can think of that may be an issue is the "DOS extender" that I believe Socrates required. It was a watcom based DOS extender and I'll bet it somehow is broken with Windows NT or incompatible in some way. - Don
