Gentlemen , once in a while we'll get this discussion. I would like to
suggest that we could build some doc explaining how to run DP under
virtual environements that were tested and work fine with configurations
files examples if possible, etc.... I.E: we know that Dosbox megabuild
works fine with DP so we could include links to install files and
manuals and one config file proved to work. VMware works also but
printing (with USB prts) without third part programs,is out of question
now (may be they fix it in next versions).We could also choose a "most
apropriate" windows version to run DP in a VM , for example, one that
makes file sharing between guest and host OS's an easy thing and can run
DP easy also. As time passes by , 64-bits may be a kind of default (or
another thing new may appears like ARM processors) and XP emu probably
will also disapear as NTVDM did . So we must have some alternatives to
that in order to have DP alive and kicking for more hundreds yrs (yes,
the way things go we'll not see anything so easy during this time) .
Also (my opinion ok ?) the wonderful of worlds here would be port it to
Linux, but this is a dream and I know, not easy to achieve , but not
impossible....
