Andy, It is possible to use the program with xp. You might in fact be able to do it using the command prompt and having it set up as you want but you may have to tell windows that it needs to run as a windows.95 application so that it can get the propper support.

It is a 16 bit hibred DOS/Windows program that was originally designed to run on Windows 3.1, but would run on my old Windows'95 computer. it runs under Windows, but has to be installed under DOS. I now have a computer running Windows'XP SP-2. I do not believe the program supports software speech, however, I have a Dec Express that I use on this machine with OpenBook and Window-Eyes, and Atlas Speaks can utilize the SSIL driver for the Dec Express. I was wondering if anyone is using this program with Windows'XP and if it is possible to use this program with Windows'XP.
