Why would you need it? vDOS is a fork of DOSBox specifically intended to run DOS character mode business apps. It drops the graphics and sound emulation DOSBox provides because they aren't needed by the stuff vDOS is designed to run. (vDOS is also not cross-platform, and only works under Windows.) I run vDOS here under Win10 and it works fine and runs what I've tried it with. (The folks on the WordStar list, joined at the hip to WordStar 7, have clutched vDOS to their chests with happy little cries.) It takes a couple of minutes at most to get a DOS app working in vDOS. Install vDOS. Install the DOS app in a directory. Create a shortcut to vDOS that starts it in that directory. Edit the sample AUTOEXEC.TXT and CONFIG.TXT files to do the right things for the app you want to run. Run the shortcut. It won't work with DOS games (and is not intended to), but that's what DOSBox is for. ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
