 N.B. It would do that anyway if there were no c:\pedigree folder to be found, but you will probably be testing this out on your home computer which does have a c:\pedigree :-)
-===== I wonder if we can get Pedigree running too ... =====
+===== And finally Pedigree =====
 To start with, I suggest you add two Apps to your menu:

     * Command Prompt Portable
   * and from the games section
-    * DOSBox Portable
+    * DOSbox Portable
-===== And then ... =====
+On a Win32 host system there should be no real trouble running a DOS program. Indeed Pedigree will appear in the PortableApps menu and will run when clicked - although some work needs to be done to sort out the font size!
-Some black magic?
+If you like a more traditional approach, run Command Prompt Portable an then type:
+  cd portableapps\pedigree
+  pedigree
+On a 64 but Windows 7 system that won't work but Colin's FAQ has the answer - DOSbox is available as a Portable App.
+Before going further, check whether your pedigree folder includes the file dpmi16bi.ovl and if it is not there you should follow Colin's FAQ instructions for 64bit Win7 and install Ped26N. Even if it is there, you might want to check you have your version of Pedigree as up-to-date as possible!
+If u: is the drive letter of your USB drive, run DOSbox and at the Z: prompt type:
+  mount v u:\portableapps\pedigree
+  v:
+  pedigree
+At this point you may still have Pedigree in a very small window ... something to work on!
