I'm amazed it runs at all... it's from the era before Microsoft Windows
- so you're probably going to need to run it in VMWare or something to
have a hope...

The freeware DOSBox emulator will probably handle it.
dosbox.sourceforge.net The emulator even handles ChessBase 4 for DOS and
Fritz 3 for DOS without any particular difficulties. Which is certainly
more than one can say for the dos emulation contained in current versions
of Windows.

Sorry but dosbox and BFTC are not "compatibles"
