SYN 3/ SYN 4 Pars - No Adjust Energy/Thoromation - Pace and Cap

ray lopez · 06-26-2026, 05:57 PM

I am currently working on updating the pars on Syn 3 and Syn 4.I will let you guys know when it will be ready.It just takes some work which i don't mind as
it keeps my mind busy.

I also found by accident a way to not use any adjustment on Energy/EXDC/Kgen Thoromation.I think it was purposely hidden.I'll do some testing on it just to make sure it's not just a hidden tunnel in Lebanon.Again,i do not mind the
extra work as it keeps my dementia a few blocks away.

Ray, appreciate all you do. Looking forward to it. Guess I will have to pull out my thumb drive with all the old programs on it and plug it into my Windows XP on my net book. Could never figure out how to set up dos box on my Windows 10 desktop. Are there any videos out there for beginners with DOSBox?

Hi Bob,

It 's probably best to go to Youtube and search,"Dosbox for Beginners on Windows 10" or "Dosbox on Windows 10"...there's detailed procedures in there.
Or you can go to Dosbox.com,download the one for Windows.Copy the file to your XP,create a shortcut...double-click on it...then type "Mount C C:\(your program folder,like say 'Energy')"...so it's "Mount C C:\Energy"...then "C:"...Then "Energy" (or the program .exe file)
Don't worry.It is easy.

Thanks, Ray, for continuing to try and make the old programs better. I really appreciate it as well.

Energy and Validator Manual will run by itself without dosbox.

If anyone needs the latest DRF 3-year Best Times for VALM,Synthesis or Pace Launcher 4/5,just pm me....there's also a procedure if you want to know how to make your own 3-yr best times and variants.

If you need info on older programs,even Taulbot's Pace Computer just pm me.

I got a pm and the message is "seems like i'm just giving everything away"...
I just have a bad feeling that i am not going to have much time anymore.

Bob,

I have use both doxbox and vdosplus and they are both on my windows 11 Pro
computer and they both work. I prefer vdosplus because when you open the program it starts at a c prompt which is the directory where vdosplus is located. I do not have to worry about mounting and dismounting the c drive. I also found it easier to print and save files.

directions for vdosplus

http://www.vdosplus.org/

I only found one youtube video and it is age restricted and requires a youtube account to view it. I do not have a youtube account so I cannot say whether it is useful or not.

Hope this helps.

Ray,

I enjoy your sharing your approach to using old programs. You are not giving picks or copies of the software - just your approach. I appreciate your posts and look forward to reading them.

Thank you,
