Right you are, Jos.
I'm guessing that the developers were not so clever as to write code that
bypasses DOS. Plus, Microsoft would have us believe (What, me, a skeptic?)
that even some less than well behaved code will run in compatibility mode.
For those without ancient PC hardware and some flavor of DOS it would still
be worth a try.

Hi Mike,
Interesting,
The version i have is def. 4.6, never saw a 4.6a, although the maintenance
manual talks about it.
The executable name is TRL46.exe and is 167kb.
Could you please check yours and let us know?
It would be interesting to know if there are really different versions
around.
Did you try to print the content of the log?
As said before, i got mine running from a memory stick, but hangs on
printing.
But i could find out the engine had been running for 42 minutes from which
5 minutes at 5800 rpm, before i got it out of the box.
Rob, the MS dos compatible instructions are good for "well-behaved"
programs, which are programs that do not try to manupulate hardware
directly. Try to run for instance an old Dos game, and you will see what
happens with some games.
But It could very well be, that a 4.6a version would be "well behaved" and
cause no problems.
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen.
