Hi Mike,
it seems to be a pure DOS program.
No Windows installation described in the manual.
I had a quick try in a VirtualBox Win98SE machine, using it from a CLI hangs the machine. Shutdown/restart in DOS mode as well.
Works fine in a DOS 6.22 VirtualBox.
I use it in a DosBox emulator.

Thanks Ed, nice gift.
Had to substitute "no popcount" sf7.exe in both SF71 & SF72 sub-directories due to my old CPU, but seems to work fine that way.
Just sharing the trick...
Kind regards, Eric

Thank you Martin.
Nice package, including book and various .exe compiled (32/64bits, popcnt/no).
Thus I also managed to get the 1.3.0 version as well, looking forward to discover both. I agree it is great to use engines with some history, background versions...

Hi, indeed Fritz3 requires /x parameter to gain access to extended memory for large hash size. You may specify the size, eg: fritz3 /x16384 But using DosBox you will in addition need to disable memory drivers, either in your globlal DosBox options file (useful for a quick test, but not the best way ...
