What about putting an old 486 running DOS onto the
network to run this
application?
There are currently 5 machines running it, and 5 new machines are going
in to replace them. I don't think there will be room to leave the old
machines in place. But it is one possible solution (and because it should
only be needed for a few months, it is a reasonable solution)

How many people would need to access the old software, and how many at any

We got around this exact same problem at one site by situating a sample old
machine in a handy corner, and running pcAnywhere to it from each of the
new PCs that wanted to use the application.
You could use realVNC for free instead of pcAw, or any of a similar range
of products. ... Why spend to install a virtual PC when you can access a
real one :-)
