Run gs98. 

Click Help, About. 

In the texty bit, look for VERSION: 4.0.0.0 to X.X.0.0.

GS98 is version 4.

If it says to version 5.1, 5.3 will work too.

I recently acquired an IS400 with an old laptop with GS5 installed (no install disc, parallel dongle). My Help | About says VERSION=4.0.0.0 TO 5.1.xx.xx. So am I able to download those 23 RARs and install 5.3 on a more stable desktop and it will work with my dongle?

What about fonts? I have a shite-tonne of them in a GS98 installation that runs a TrophyMaster with a dongle VERSION=4.0.0.0 TO 4.1.xx.xx 

This recently acquired system has the fonts I want in the FONTS folder but they don't show in GS5. Are font restrictions part of the dongle too? Any way to enable the three that I'm used to using?

Hello Sir Charles,

Yes, 5.3 should run with a 5.1 dongle.

Yes, fonts available are controlled by the dongle.

We can't reprogram parallel dongles any more, so there's no way to activate those fonts unless you upgrade to GS8.
