I have a few dos chess programs that do not work under XP and the publisher's say
they wont as well. These progs have copy protection hooked directly into the DOS

in a DOS shell under XP.
I am glad your software runs, but attacking the original poster for offering reasonable--and
truthful expectations seems unfair to me.
