Hello!

I'm working for a firm that produces legal transcripts and they use Wordperfect 4.2.

I recently bought this new laptop-- A Sony VAIO AW110D With Windows Vista on it.. unfortunately I can't run the program as normal because of compatibility issues so I decided to use DOSBOX.

I was wondering if someone would be able to assist me in getting it working.

Our tech support person runs the program using BAT .PRD files and I'm not quite sure how to get them working properly...

Is there a way to mount multiple directories? or am I stuck with just one?

Hope someone can walk me through this!!!

Thanks!!

You must be kidding... That program is 23 years old!!!

That'll do you no good, as you cannot print from DOSbox.

I'm not sure either, I have never heard of PRD files.

I don't understand. If you can mount one directory, you can mount severa, right? Did you even try?
