Great program and it still works well.
Funny you should mention that. I have a computer with an older version of windows that still allows DOS programs to run. I have ENERGY, ENGEN, KGEN and THOROMATION on it and they print from a 9 pin Okidata printer. Like you, just for fun since I no longer use these programs, I will run a couple of races through them. As you stated, they still work well!
