Disklavier

I know that all the documentations say you have to be in pure DOS to use
DKVCOPY, but I've been successfully running it in a DOS Prompt window
under Windows 98 (am to lazy to reboot just for a small task like
this).  It works perfectly and the resulted files are tested good too.

However this does NOT work in Windows XP - at least not straight out. 
(XP's compatibility mode doesn't sound too promising for this but may be
worth a shot just to know - when I have time.)

CCW

P.S. On a side note, the GNMIDI program (not part of the DKVUTILS
collection but also in the group's file vault) does run in WinXP but
requires compatibility mode to simulate Win95.
