  • I can't install my power tools any more

    For history and playing with old systems where msdos is a modern OS
    I try to replay what I did 25 years ago.


    I buy from Kirschbaum and other in 1993
    Power Basic with Tools and later saved the files from the 3.5" floppydisks.
    The floppy disks are long gone.


    SUBDIR │ ddeswap I needed
    SUBDIR │ pb300c
    SUBDIR │ pb311 thats the version I used
    SUBDIR │ pb320
    SUBDIR │ pbbonus
    SUBDIR │ pbisam ISAm databas (I never used it realy)
    SUBDIR │ pgdemo
    SUBDIR │ pgraph1 I only made some test
    SUBDIR │ pgraph2
    SUBDIR │ pwtool1 That was I used a lot
    SUBDIR │ pwtool2 " "

    Last year I had a problem and thougt ... nothing matter, I've the files saved and can install new.

    Bad as it doesn't work.
    I hadn't saved the keys which where printed of the cover from the floppydisks and I had to type in during installation ( I forget)
    and sadly today all are out of service.

    I managed later to make the installed PB3 with the Powertools work again
    and hope I learn even how to work with it.

    It's possible that your executables are 16 bit and won't run on 64 bit
    Windows systems. In that case you could try them on a 32 bit version of
    Windows (XP, 7, or a 32 bits W10).

    Now windows please.

    The software I like to use is for msdos.
    For correctness I must say that I use the MSDOS below OS/2 in a VBOX.
    So the OS is MSDOS and exactly that is the environment I used in 1995.
    At that time I had Warp4 - Now ECS 2.1
