Downloads To use Programs for Little kids you will need to 1. Download littlekids.exe 2. Download Dosbox 3. Modify DosBox. The full instructions are listed below. It may look daunting but I assure you that it is very easy. 4. Use the Programs littlekids.exe 1. Double click above file littlekids.exe install it and it will place The Folder ‘Littlekids’ on your C:\ Drive Also Download The Two Documents Manual and LittleKids Instructions contained in this Zip File, LittleKids Documents.zip. If you require a ZIP program there is an excellent freeware ZIP Utility which I use at  http://www.ultimatezip.com 2. Go to Source Forge https://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/ and hit the green button and DOSBOX 0.74-2 (or latest version) will download after 5 seconds. Else do a Google search for DosBox. Once downloaded install DosBox  3. Before you can use Programs for Little Kids you have to make changes to DOSBOX Go to C:\ Program Files (x86) find Dosbox 0.74-2 Open it and find:   DOSBox 0.74-2 Options Open the DOSBox options file: C:\program files (x86)\dosbox-0.74-2\Dosbox- 0.74-2 Options.bat. Choose this file and it will open options file,  DOSBox 0.74-2 Options.      Look for the [sdl] section after all the asterisks then MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES    Change fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true     Change fullresolution=original to fullresolution=desktop    Change windowresolution=original to windowresolution=320X200      Change output=surface to output=openglnb  Scroll down to the [render] section Change aspect=false to aspect=true   Double-check that your options screen looks like this:               fullscreen=true               fulldouble=false               fullresolution=desktop               windowresolution=320x200              output=openglnb              autolock=true              sensitivity=100             waitonerror=true             priority=higher,normal             mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map             usescancodes=true            aspect=true At the very bottom of the page type the following exactly: mount c c:\littlekids C: CD lilkids Menus Save the options.bat file with  File - Save. Close The File A Dosbox 0.74-2 icon will appear on Main Screen. Dosbox 0.74-2 Click it to Start DOSBox and DosBox will automatically load The Littlekids Menu. 4. The thirty eight Programs are on two pages of the Menu - Menu1 and Menu2. Just double click the Program you want to use. The first twenty Programs are for smaller Children. After that I had older Children in mind but the younger children may also like them. In Dos Box each time you load a program You will see it: searching for fonts, looking up tables, looking up sine and cosine tables etc: the programs may take a little time to Load. NB When Child is finished using the programs they exit by door at bottom of the screen that will take them to the c:\littlekids in DOS. They have to type exit and they will go straight back to Windows. The Programs are not perfect. If you find problems can you please email me and I will try and fix them up.
