I just came across this post on another forum, and I'd like to know if what the writer is saying was true:

they crippled the DOS to not allow Visio-Calc to not run


Ignore the double negative, I think what he means is clear.

Anybody know about this?

I don't know first hand, however, reading the following suggests the above is misinformation : http://www.danbrickl...cexecutable.htm

Thanks, Joe -- the info in your link gibes with what I thought, that there was no problem running VisiCalc in DOS. I may even download it, put in on a floppy, and see if it actually runs on my 8088 machine.

Interesting site, BTW. I've added it to my Favorites!
