Hello sports fans. If you we’re into GrandView back in the day, here is one possible approach to obtaining and running the program in 2015.

Note, I assume no liabilities, provide any warranties or necessarily advocate any of the below :). Consider this a thought piece on how it could be done.

1. Setup a VM
- This step could be skipped.
- Parallels on the Mac, Virtual Box on Windows, etc.
- Not a necessary step, but if ur risk averse about malware, it at least makes one feel better about malware exposure even though it might be totally useless given DosBox below :)
- Only run GV in this environment. No browsing to your bank for example.

2. Setup DosBox in this VM
- DosBox is a very legit, wonderful piece of software

3. Go to an abandonware sight like vetusware.com
- They have GrandView 2.0
- No telling if it’s been cracked
- May or rmay not be in the public domain from an IP perspective
- download into ur VM
- setup under DosBox
- use copy and paste for interoperability with other programs

Total shame there is no modern equivalent of GrandView. Obviously, us GrandView fans are not a “material” segment of the market.

Peace
