Type "Install" at the dos prompt using DOS-BOX. Vista and Vista Pro are 3D landscape generation programs originally for the Amiga, Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows (PC) range of home computers. It was written by John Hinkley and its own About box describes it as "a 3-D landscape generator and projector capable of accurately displaying real-world and fractal landscapes." It was published by Virtual Reality Labs.

Vistapro 3.05 for DOS

Vistapro is a three-dimensional landscape simulation program. Using U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) files, Vistapro can accurately recreate real world landscapes in vivid detail. It can also create fractal based landscapes, and provides many customizations. Vistapro originated on the Amiga and also had a Macintosh port. The DOS version supports high resolution VESA graphics modes.

VistaPro 4.00 for Windows 4.00

Vistapro is a three-dimensional landscape simulation program. Using U.S. Geological Survey (USGS ) Digital Elevation Model (DEM )files, Vistapro can accurately recreate real world landscapes in vivid detail. As a fractal landscape generator, Vistapro can create landscapes from a random seed number. Often these landscapes are more interesting than those found in the real world. Vistapro supports over four billion different fractal landscapes. Simply by changing a number, you can create whole new worlds. Vistapro is also a tool. Besides simulating real and imaginary landscapes, it allows extraction of a certain amount of data from the DEM files. You can use the program output as an educational tool, as well as a research tool for the study of topography . In addition, by simply clicking on a few buttons, you can create rivers and lakes in a landscape where none existed previously, or change the color of the earth, sky, and trees to create an alien landscape.
