   If your WinXP is 32-bit...   
      
   You can use CHOICE.COM (DOS program) from MS-DOS v6.22 or from DOS boot   
   floppy disk images which are widely availavle in the net. You can use 7-Zip   
   to open the DSK/IMG floppy disk images.   
      
   Alternatively, you can use CHOICE.EXE (DOS program) from FreeDOS.
