Hi Robert

Cut and paste is currently unavailable in the official DOSBox releases and Snapshot produces a graphic image only. However, thereʻs an unofficial modified executable that is available for Windows machines. I havenʻt tried it as I use a Mac.

Most of the relevant information is in english, but wenn Sie Deutsches sprechen können, hilft es.

Happy new year!

Joe Bush.

I have just bought a new computer, with 64-bit Vista installed, and have been able to run DP using DOSBox.

My ability to do this in the past - eg pasting contact information from the web, extracting name & email address - has been an invaluable part of my DP experience.

Is there a way around this, either by tweaking DOSBox or installing a different DOS emulator?

Or might it be necessary to initiate an age discrimination suit against Microsoft, requiring them to restore the abilities of those - many/most of whom, like myself, are in their sixties or older - to have effective access to and use of our tools and archives / histories that

Happy New Year
