Windows 2000 comes with apcompat.exe, a utility that may help with older
applications. It does not install by default, you will have to search
the Installation cd, it is on there somewhere.

Dan,
Baby 36 engine ran on Netware 3.12. Moved the entire app, lock, stock &
barrel to an NT server, using W3, W95, WNTW for clients. It ran
successfully for quite some time. Converted all that to Vantage
2.70.454,
then to 3.00. Now we have a client (my boss, the Plant Accountant)
running
W2000wks. The same setup for Classic (which ran fine for Win3, W95,
WNTW
on his old computers) doesn't function properly under 2000wks. I just
wondered if there was a secret to running old DOS apps under 2000wks.
