I am trying to find a way to run my basic programs that I created 20 years ago in gwbasic. I currently have to run them on aa windows 98 computer because of having the capability of true dos. Where can I go for help in how to start validating Dos Box for this task.

What operating system do you want to run them under? (I use Windows XP and run GW-BASIC in a DOS window with no problem.)

You can use DOSBox. (Instead of <Ctrl-Break>, use <Ctrl-Scroll Lock>.)
