Easiest way to make Val4 work is to use it on a 32-bit Windows system. This way, you don’t have to rely upon DOS prompts. Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 32-bit editions will run Val4 with zero issue. However, if you try and run it in 64-bit Windows, you will run into headaches. DOSBox spits out weird errors when you try and operate Val4 in a 64-bit system so it’s not a viable solution. Easiest way (for me anyway) was to download a program called VirtualBox, find an install file for a 32-bit Windows XP, and install Windows XP as a virtual environment. You can get away with doing this on an 8GB RAM computer, but 16GB is optimal IMO.
