Running old DOS program on a new PC?

[trader]

Looking for a script which will semi-automatically run my old MS DOS QuickBasic program on an XP or Vista machine.

If there is not already such a program I can pay to have it written. Thanks.

Many people have gotten QuickBasic running on an XP machine. It's popular and there are many programs out there to do it.

Cheers,

Look up Dosbox on google, it's the best program I've used for this.

They have plug-ins you can use to play oldschool sound along with it as well so you can play the old games and such.

I second DOSBox. FreeDOS may be a solution for you, but be aware that it is a whole operating system.

Looking at the suggestions now.
