Thomas, sorry, but, am actually talking about launching that VMWare instance
of dos, firing up windows 3.1 inside it, and then actually launching the dos
terminal window from inside windows 3.1, and then launch ASAP inside that
terminal window, while window eyes is still running in windows 3.1 itself -
just seems that sound is handled slightly better via virtual sound card if
windows 3.1 launches it's rendition of a terminal window, as opposed to just
launching ASAP directly from the bootup command prompt.
Trust me, I am only too aware that command prompt under windows 7 64 bit
doesn't handle much in terms of backward compatibility - for prior
implementations of backward compatibility would run a windows XP 32 bit
VMWare image on this same machine, but, this other one handles some even
older things still slightly better.
Stay well
stay well

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] using dosbox
Hi Jacob,
The problem with the windows command prompt , particularly on 64-bit
Windows, is that it can not execute and run older 8-bit and 16-bit
applications and games. There is the reason Josh is trying to run them
under true dos such as inside a virtual machine or a Dos emulator like
Dosbox. Certain apps and games simply will not run on a modern Windows
7 or Windows 8 computer which sort of bites. However, I have found a
much easier solution than the one he uses which works for me.
Cheers!
