The new computer that we bought for Gail came with Win 8.1 on it.  After
about a week of struggling with getting used to it, I decided to upgrade
to Win 10 -- and now things are much better there.

This computer is Win 7 and will probably stay that way as long as it
survives.  I am runing a virtual window XP for a few DOS type
applications, mainly BlueWave.  I have set up my MealMaster and Qbook
programs to run in Win 7 by using an application calle vDOS.  It is a
trimmed down version of DOSBOX, with the addition of allowing for the
use of printer ports.  In it I have LPT1 (which MM and QB use) to send
file directly to my editing program called Editpad lite.  From there I
can do any slight edits and then print the result directly.  DOSBOX
itself does not support printing.

I tried Multimail once again -- but decided I'm happy with my Bluewave
and the Qedit program I use with it.  Bluewave does have a couple of
flaws when attempting to run in DOSBOX or vDOS, and that is why I chose
to run it in the virtual window.

 SD> For printing, have you tried the ol' "net share" trick for under DOS?

Yes -- since my printer is not installed on any of the common ports
(LPT1, etc.) I have had to do that for some time.
