Stefan and everyone -
DOS can be run on ANY Windows operating system, if you purchase the
VirtualPC that is made for WINDOWS, not Mac....so there are two
versions of VirtualPC...one for Windows users and one for Mac
users...both make it possible to run SignWriter DOS on ANY windows or
mac platform...

How does it work? You purchase the VirtualPC that runs on Windows XP,
and then you install VirtualPC like any other computer program on your
XP computer. Then you start Virtual PC and then you can install
SignWriter DOS inside VirtualPC...VirtualPC is a little like a computer
inside a computer...it creates a safe environment that is separate from
the rest of your operating system...

A lot of people think VirtualPC is only for the Mac, but they are
wrong...it is for Windows too...

Please go to this web page to order the VirtualPC for WINDOWS:

Please see attached graphic from that web page...send this to your tech
people! or they can write to me if they have problems -  Val ;-)
