Solve : Copy DOS Program?

Answer»

I have a DOS program that I run on an OLD 386 with Windows95. It is called T2Map and it converts TDS RAW data into Maptech FLD files. I have no idea where the installation disk is. I really need to get this program off of the 386 onto ANOTHER computer (WindowsXP) as it is on its last legs. However, I have no clue how to do this. I am assuming I would need to copy the files that control this program onto a floppy and put them on the other computer. However, I don't know which files to get. Thanks.Do you have a folder on the old FAILING computer which contains the T2Map program? I should certainly copy everything in that, plus any subfolders. If you replicate evrything you should be OK.
Ok I tried this but now all I get when I try to run the program is a blank command prompt window.Ok I replicated and have tried everything I can THINK of (which ISNT much  ). This is the message I am getting: C:\T2Map\T2MAP.PIF The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Please help.Try running it with Command.com instead of CMD.EXE
