| 1451671 | 2018-07-17 05:09:00 | With my new PC didn’t think would have any chance of installing my 22 year old Coral Draw but it went on no prob! Yeah sure there are better drawing programs but it’s nice and simple - and am too old to learn anything else anyway! |

| 1451677 | 2018-07-17 22:42:00 | I'm just happy I can still get Doom to run. It's old and blocky, but there's a lot of history having great fun with that game. It must be getting close to being 30 years old now. |

I guess try them and see is the real proof, but somebody may have already tried that. :) I have tried Wine on Mint. Old windows programs that are self contained, often will run, but big issues with printers etc. DOS box will run a lot of old Dos based programs, & games in windows or Linux. Much easier to double boot with Windows. I find Windows 7 to be best for this. |

Some of the old programs could just be copied as is to new PC's & work . Its a crap shoot as to what works and what doesnt. Some wont work on 64bit Win . |
