If it can't run in the command console of Win7 or Vista, you could set
up a virtual machine and run DOS on that. Or you could use Dosbox
(www.dosbox.com). Dosbox is primarily aimed at allowing newer OSs to
run older games, but it should work here. I've heard many good things
about it.

HOWEVER - the Score website says that their newest version is called
WinScore 5.00. That sounds like it's engineered for Windows, not DOS.
