Ted I can load it through dosbox just fine but it can't find trkmast files. I have plenty of old files in my trkmast folder.
when I try to load without dosbox I get this app won't run on this computer.
I have other Sartin prms(manual) that run fine on dosbox.
So I am flummoxed.
Thanks, though.

What is the name of your TrackMaster folder (where your data files are). For example: c:\trkmast, or c:\spec160\trkmast?

Also, what is the name of the folder where you have Speculator installed? For example: c:\spec160?

Ted, Trkmast on C drive
Spec160 I put in my documents, then pasted the spec160 folder to desktop
Thanks for taking so much time with this. It's greatly appreciated

Whatever folder the Speculator program is in, you need to make a sub-folder named trkmast and move your TrackMaster data files there.

Then when you run Spec within DosBox, and MOUNT drive C as 'the folder where Spec is', when Spec looks for files in C:\trkmast it will find them. It will NOT find them in the Trkmast folder on your C drive (c:\trkmast) - as you have discovered!

Thanks ted. I put the trkmast folder into folder where I have spec but no go. So I will make a sub folder and see that works.
Thanks again,
Chuck
