To capture these files with Netscape, hold down the Shift key while you click on the filename. To verify that your capture was successful, compare the size of the captured file with the size shown below. Most of these programs are quite old and run under DOS. Those that use more than 16 colors or resolutions higher than 640 x 480 make use of VESA graphics that may not be supported by modern graphics cards or by recent versions of Windows. However, they should run using the DOSBox DOS emulator, and it is reported that they compile and run using QB64, both freeware.
