I use several DOS programs that run perfectly in XP. XP is based on
the NT Kernel, therefore, the 'DOS' that you actually see, is merely
an emulation. By right clicking the .exe, selecting Properties and
selecting Compatibility Mode under the Compatibility tab, you can
probably run most anything you want. At lease I have found this to be
the case.

This thread is of interest to me in that I like many others have antenna
programs in DOS
Now all computors sare sold with Windows XP which has no provision for dos
Now many programs shown on the given page are also written in DOS and
loosely
describe that it is to be used with a 32 bit console program mode. But there
does not seem to be any specifics
about this or where it can be obtained ,which leads me to think of
discarding all the newer window programs
and backtrack to Windows 98.
So for a newcomer it is not all that simple as compatability is not ensured
when one has a computor
that is four years old or newer.
It also begs the question why, as processors become faster ,one backtracks
by using "32 bits".
Thus the thread initiator has to step carefully to ensure that the program
chosen is compatable
and useable with XP program which now appears to be the choice of today, and
not have to tread though a
range of additional interface additions.

What about free versions of the NEC code?

I am interested in modeling a helically wound antenna and so need a lot
of segments.

Thanks.

For free packages, I find the 4nec2 program amongst the most powerful
and easy to use. You can download it from the NEC Archives at
http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu/swindex.html

It has most, if not all, of the features of many of the commercial
packages plus a few that they don't have. I believe the NEC2 engine
underlying the gui is set up to handle up to 11,000 segments.

1. Click "Start" Button
2. Click "Run"
3. At the Open prompt enter CMD and hit return.

Thanks for that.Unfortunately this does not allow AOPRO to work.
Seems like I will have to load DOS into the computor.
Fortunately I can still use the program on another computor until I sort it out

If it doesn't run under CMD, it will probably need more than DOS -
like EMM drivers and those antediluvian memory extenders when a
megabyte cost a kilobuck.

I would not go as far as to say that.
With my desktop which is old I loaded it with two browsers
Windows 2000 and Windows 98 to get the DOS ability.
With the lap top just adding a Dos segment without loading the memory
seems to be the way to go. Understand the local University uses a
special program for combination of DOS with XP so it is not
insurmountable.
