Win 10 Lotto SW(?)

[Mr_Rich]

Has anyone found any usable SW under Win 10? Just wondering. I haven't checked in for a while. I can use Versabet 3/4 on Win 10 but the features I use more often are my original Versabet 4.0 DOS version that I can still run under XP and Vista. I've had some decent wins in Daily 3 and Daily 4 this past summer that have kept me in the game.

Unfortunately they shut down the website a couple of years ago. I remember the original program started with FreeWare on 5 1/4" disks.

I recall now that the original program was a ShareWare called Lotto Master. It was upgraded over time to VersaBet 4.0 before they shut down. Most of the programs I have run in a DOS window which won't work with Win 10.

I dont know how hard youve tried to run your DOS programmes in Windows 10 and I'm no expert but I have read that you can do it. I think 32 bit PCs in W10 can run them without any problems but its the 64 bit machines which give the problem. You need to create a virtual environment to run your DOS program in by using third party software such as DOSbox or VDOS.

If you've not looked further into this you could do worse than reading these articles and watching any of the many tutorials on youtube about this.
