Hi David, Turned out that even though FreeDOS worked on one of my computers with no modifications, I did need to add some memory management in config.sys for other computers. I also found a few other things that I probably knew once and had forgotten, such as makefcfg is missing a DPMI management library compiled-in, but this is easily remedied. The FreeDOS OS and all the tools are open source and free, so I will be able to put together a package that will work. I can't promise a delivery time (we never promised anything when we were developing Fractint :-)) but I don't think it will take long. If anyone wants to try this, order some Sandisk Cruzer fit 8gb (maybe 16 gb works also) USB drives. They are pretty cheap. Tim
