Hi Wayne..to run the older DOS programs you need something called DOSBOX.
Its a free open source program ..but its a little tricky to start using, but then its OK

Use DOSBox here with Windows 7. Also use a frontend for DOSBox called DOSShell. Makes configuration easy.

Plugs into a usb port on your computer. Comes in different sizes - like a harddrive. Use it to store data - backup data or run programs. You can get one at Walmart or Target. Hope this helps answer your question.
