Hi Stuart: If you are using a command prompt to run PowerBASIC maybe something like DosBOX might be enough. On Linux boxes it can run some really ancient stuff that may even stall on Wine or any modern version of Windows for that matter. http://www.howtogeek.com/104725/how-to-use-dosbox-to-run-dos-games-and-old-a pps/ I know it works on any Linux and Apple computers.
