My useful macros

[Roger]

Hi All,

Windows 2.10 needed a 80286 CPU.

I have the original floppies in front of me and the wording on the disks reads:-


Microsoft_R Windows/286
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presentation Manger
For Personal Computers Using an Intel_R 80826 Processor

     AV 2.10 / 024373

I don't remember getting it to run on my XT clone but this was because I could not strip it down enough to run on a twin floppy machine and have any space on the disks for an application program.
I didn't actually use it on my AT either because as an API it was only extra work to run the same DOS programmes and as for the graphics, well they streched the capabilities of a CGA screen - just.

Regards Roger
