Another option could be to download and run dosbox. It emulates a
pcdos environment pretty well and might be enough for you to get this
to work.
Just google dosbox and it will tell you where to download it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] AO - No Plot Display
I just bought a new Toshiba notebook computer and I loaded Brian
Beezley's
YO and AO antenna modeling programs into it. I have used these
programs
on
a number of computers with excellent results, until now. On my new
computer
YO works fine however on AO when I switch to plot to see the radiation
pattern the display goes black. I know these programs were written
in
DOS
and not for Windows XP Professional, but on three Dell desktop XP Pro
computers it works fine. To start the program I switched to the
Command
Prompt and made it full screen. I have tried various color control
settings and computer resolutions without success. I'm not sure if
Brian
still sells or supports this product, if so it's not well publicized.
Any
suggestions?

I had the same problem with my Windows XP machine, John. I
ended up running my K6STI programs on my spare Windows 98
machine as that was the easiest fix for me. Another possible
solution that TRlog users have developed is to turn a USB Thumb
Drive into a bootable DOS drive, and then boot the Windows XP
machine into DOS from the Thumb Drive. I haven't tried it, but
seems like it should work. I think you can find details in the TRlog
archives at contesting.com.
