This list is dedicated to the DAK-baffled and those who have conquered!!

Although DaK 7 is now difficult to use as it is 16 bit and has to be run on old operating systems within virtual machines on modern computers, it is still a useful tool and worth the bother of retaining or obtaining an older laptop or pc. There is a separate list DesignaKnit-8 for those who have obtained, or will be buying the latest version of the program.

To be able to use the unique if antique DaK 7 program to its full potential requires some concentration, and you need to know that there are tools to do things,and where they are kept. If you know older programs and remember DOS commands then DaK might be a bit easier for you than for somone only familiar with the later Windows OSs.

Do be aware that if you have bought the program second hand, or are considering doing so, that you should be given the original disks and a letter from the registered owner stating that they have relinquished all rights to the program and have not retained a working copy. Then you can pay a fee and register the program as your own so you can obtain 'lives' or key numbers and have the benefit of technical support.
