I'm not saying that booting DOS can't be done; rather that it has to be done right and isn't a walk in the park for technically unskilled users.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

You do not need any third party programs.

Good thing I keep some old 166 and 133 machines around with DOS 6.xx on them... :wink:

And BTW, there was an updated release of the original X-COM that PC Gamer put out for free. PM me for details...
