> It is a DOS programme that runs perfectly well in windoze.
Not sure if that means WinXP.
It wont run as standard or with any tweaks but if I use MSCONFIG to change
the boot options to alternative DOS GUI then it works fine. The reported
DOS is Millenium DOS. This alternative boot no gui is NOT the cmd.exe
that appears as a WinXP DOS prompt when XP is booted up as it would
normally do in Joe Public mode.
> It needs a VGA colour monitor because it operates in graphics mode.
SVGA here - works fine, no problems with graphics.
Looks quite nice.
> It won't work with other types of monitor.
VGA or higher appears OK.
I did try it on my Nokia Communicator 9210i running DOS 6.22 but helix.exe
*did* complain about incorrect monitor type. In DOS mode on the Nokia it
emulates an EGA.
Hope this is of use.
