I do have one of the Installation disks and it is 3.5".  I borrowed MC9 
for Windows disketes and could try that though I loathe the Windows 
version.

A bit of background: I love Moneycounts and apparently Intuit was afraid 
enough of it to buy Parsons and then, when they sold it, it was with the 
provision that MC could never be enhanced beyond MC9. (IMHO, along with a 
great many CPAs, Quicken and QuickBooks are abominations! And, yes, I have 
tried Quicken only to hasten back to MC5 after it got my books hopelessly 
out of balance.) Further, it is the only low end (or mid range for that 
matter) accounting package that does funds accounting.  I have threatened 
for years to write my own starting where MC left off but ...

Guess I'll check out DosBox.  I do have DOSEMU but then I'll have to dig 
out my DOS or DRDOS diskettes.

Thank for the help,
Lucky
