The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Old Pong program from PC-88, need a script to open it with dos box

Asked by DAWR in DOS Games, MS DOS, Windows Batch Scripting

Tags: Old program, DOS, Script, DosBox, create script to open.

hi,

i have a customer who requires this program to train autistic kids. it seriously out of the ark! i can get it to run in just just your normal Command promt, but it is WAY to fast. the game is not playable. i need some way of making it work. someone else has made it work with DosBox and instructions are in word doc attached.
i need either a better way or a script to automate the instructions in the word doc. this is an old lady im doing it for, it needs to be simple.

ive also attached a copy of the game. its a .RAR file so you will have to rename the extension from.JPG to .RAR

ive tried to convince her that its just pong and there are new versions out there. but t his one apparently has been calibrated to do something to help these autistic kids do something with eyes and brain hemispheres... dunno... anyways, she really needs it to work.

thanks guys!
