Software downloads are presented "as is" (voetstoots). If the programs state they are for DOS or XP -please do not attempt to run them under Windows 7 or 8 unless the program information specifically states you can do so. Windows XP support ends in April 2014 - but you can still take your old XP machine to the workshop and run programs on it. Windows had to evolve. Version 8 onwards runs on Intel 64-bit processors. Programs designed for Windows 7 and 8 will not , in general run on the earlier XP. The web-based calculators are my attempt to get out of this "software obsolescence" spiral of developing and re-developing - I just do't have the time to do it. Please don't ask me for desktop versions, because I will have to refuse. The days when you could play around with your computer and write the odd program for yourself are becoming a thing of the past for Windows users. (I don't think they were ever there for Mac users. ) Happily there's still a programmer's playground on inexpensive devices like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. |
