    Lots of folks have requested my permission to port the programs on my page to other systems. I've always given my permission freely; after all, the programs are already in the public domain. To date, no one who has requested permission has ever reported converting a single program.

    With that sort of interest level, I'm understandably not interested in making any conversions. I detest spreadsheets so that isn't an option either although others are welcome to follow that path.

    In my opinion the option outlined in the Introduction on my webpage is the best solution that involves the least work if one needs to use several of the programs. Download DosBox and install it. This will provide the facility to run any legacy DOS program, mine included. There are a lot of useful legacy programs out there; not just mine. While the code for mine is made available, that usually isn't true for other people's work. Using DosBox allows you to run these programs without having the code available or needing to recode it.
