[dba-Tech] Favor from an XP user

Would you please download and install Family Roots onto your C drive from
http://bassett.net/famroots/frupgradefaq.shtml

Follow the instructions up TO the paragraph that starts:
Now if you have your existing program in that folder, then just press enter. 

That's right after an ascii "picture" telling where to install.

After installing the program, run c:\fr4\fr.exe and see if it comes up.

I just had someone say: "I am in the process of buying a new computer. The technicians tell me that Win XP will not accept any DOS software."

I'm sure that I've had customers tell me they've successfully used FR on XP, but need to make sure. I'm pretty sure it's a matter of the "technicians" not knowing what they are talking about.

Assuming that it works, would you also follow the instructions at:
http://bassett.net/famroots/frdesktopicon.shtml
and tell me if there are any modification that are needed for an XP user, or if the instructions work there too.

Thanks.
