 Oh,MY--  the ET 1.6 and DOS 3.21 were the oldest part in my memory!
          I am suprised how you can find them--
          Anyway, you need to have a INSTALL procedure to set it up in most
          of the case, since equipments are quite different from PC to PC,
          obvious example like videa card..MGA,CGA,EGA,VGA.....
          If I don't forget, in your legal and complete ET version you should
          have a ET*.bat file, which will load a sequence a ET files.
          Try to check if you have this ET*.bat file.This batch file should
          work in the best case, but if don't, look at the menu if it exist?!

          By the way, are you seriously interested in OLD ET1.6?
          Wouldn't you try ET 2.0,ET 2.04
          and even ET 3.0, the latest ET 3.0
          wre just mentioned in the Issue few days ago.

          I wished I have given a hint where your problems are, but if don't
          someone else can get it, right after this mail... --yuan
