[Elecraft] K3S - Win4K3Suite - SDRPlay

You might try a VM.  I also have some ultra-legacy things that I still 
want to run.  One, a satellite ephemeris generator, is written in DOS 
3.1 FORTRAN.  I installed Virtual Box and loaded DOS into a VM, program 
runs fine.  Another will run in Windows up to XP but not beyond, so a 
second VM runs XP for it.  I also have a Linux VM in there.

Virtual Box was free when I got it, I heard somewhere that it may not be 
free now, but there are several others out there too.
