Lefty, I have run Spec and Val natively (without DosBox) on my old Win Vista 32 bit computer. I presume Win 7 would work as well. Just put the TrackMaster files on c:\trkmast.
On Win 8 or 10 (on 64 bit Windows) you need the 64 bit DosBox. I think it's described elsewhere in this Forum, but you MOUNT a DosBox
Drive C as an alias for (say) C:\Spec160. So then, since Spec (and Val) insist of finding data on C:\trkmast folder, you would need to place TrackMaser files in C:\spec160\trkmast folder (so that in DosBox, that looks like C:\trkmast
And - if you use RDSS, you can export TrackMaster data files to that folder so Spec/Val can use them (that's how we proved to Doc that RDSS in Val mode created identical readouts).
