I need to install 6.1 as well

I need to install 6.1 as well, on win2003 SBS if possible.
I'm trying to help a firm upgrade, but they want to update their hardware and OS first, then will update AccPac when they are prepared for the next step.
So can I get 6.1 AccPac for DOS on Win2K3 and where can I find resources on how?

Investigate creating a virtual DOS or Win 3.11 PC in Windows 7/8. VMWare and MS should both have fixes for you. Use latest hadware/OS, retain legacy application.
