It would run on DOS which is what I use. For now though, as I cannot tell what the sound issue might be, this=20 project will wait. Indeed though all the screen readers I have checked, still need to try=20 ASAP run the .bat file as it were, all finding the card too. At the moment my main source of synthesis is doing better, what a=20 difference changing a cable can make!
