    I use a DOS program from 1984 called Surfax.

    Is there a way to buy or otherwise obtain a copy? What I have was custom made by a moderately large surface lab. It works, but I have always loved the simplicity of DOS.

    I'll check the guy's name and PM you. Youmight be able to find him. I originally had it on 5 1/2 floppy that we just booted into it, then I put in a DOS menus system on our blazing PC-AT 4 Mhz 8088 CPU. The big problem I have with it is that it requires the use of a dongle. However, it works on Windows up to Vista. Can't seem to get it running right in Windows 7, but I could if I wanted to install DOSBox. Heck you can even get Ultima 1 to run on 7 in DOSBox.
