Hi everyone, I'd like to share my experiences with DOSBox in Win7-64bit system.
I use since many years WP-Office-DOS (shell 3.1) with wp.exe 5.1, nb.exe and DataPerfect. Today I use WPX3 and all printing is done from this Windows-program. But data still comes from my old Dos-programs. The screen size of a DOSBox invoked program is ruled by the line [sdl] windowresolution=1024x766 (or 1280x800 ...) in the related conf-file. The basic command to start DOSBox is: "[dosbox_programm]" -conf "[wpo_config]" -noconsole My environment is the following: D:\WPO D:\WPO\DOSBOX D:\WPO\OFFICE31 The basic command is: "[dosbox_programm]" -conf "[wpo_config]" -noconsole i.e. "D:\WPO\DOSBOX\DOSBOX.EXE" -conf "D:\WPO\DOSBOX\WPO.CONF" -noconsole The txt-file D:\WPO\DOSBOX\WPO.CONF = ------------------------------------------ [sdl] windowresolution=1024x766 output=overlay [render] scaler=none [cpu] core=dynamic cycles=max cycleup=10000 cycledown=10000 [autoexec] mount D "D:\" -t dir D: cd \WPO call WPO.BAT exit --------------------------------------- Instead of 'call WPO.BAT' there could propably be directly D:\WPO\OFFICE31\SHELL /w-50 The WPO.BAT is a relict of former installations D:\WPO\WPO.BAT = ---------------------------------------- @ECHO OFF REM start WP-Office (Shell) IF (%1)==(%0) GOTO RUN %COMSPEC% /E:1200 /C %0 %0 %1 GOTO ENDE :RUN D: CD \WPO D:\WPO\OFFICE31\SHELL /w-50 D: CLS ECHO. :ENDE ---------------------------------------------- The BAT-file probably isn't necessary but it works since many years so I leave it this way. The -noconsole switch on the basic dosbox-command hides the dosbox-window and leaves only WP-Office on screen. All the best and let us enjoy DataPerfect for many years to go ...
