Well, he is running it now on his workstation.  They want a new computer 
because they want a dedicated machine that will only run this program and 
not be connected to the company intranet or email or anything.  Further 
complicating matters, he just told me that although is runs under DOS it has 
a windows interface, so I guess he needs some form of windows.  He has found 
a place (XI computers) that will sell one with Windows 98.

Thanks,

Eric
