Anybody seen a problem running TR-Log on a fast computer?

The version of DOS that came with Windows 98SE had lots of
improvements...including the ability to handle disk partitions
of more than 2 GBytes, FAT32, the ability to boot
and run from a partition that isn't at the beginning of a disk, etc..
I'm pretty sure 6.22 doesn't have FAT32 and it doesn't have the
rest.
It may be worth a shot. Download the boot disk and try it.
