Re: Looking for Apple 2 emulator for DOS.

["Tom Zuchowski" <tzuchow@attglobal.net>]

Mike Todd is blind and uses a Braille reader, which is why he needs the
text-based Apple II emulator. He is also too poor at this time to buy
himself a better PC, and the one he has is not Windows-capable. But he does
have a CD-ROM. His original inquiry was sparked by his trying to get my
Eamon CD running on his computer.

He now has a copy of DPMI and has A2 running.

I don't think he is reading this newsgroup, so I will forward a copy of your
generous offer to him in email to be sure he gets it.

Also, I want to comment that Mike's email address below does not accept
attachments. If anyone has an attachment you want to send him, please email
him first and he will tell you where you can send it so he will get it.
