Don I would be very surprised if DP were to run as well under DosBox as it does under Win XP or even Win 98.
I had tried running DP under DosBox when I was running 64 bit Vista, and found it very unsatisfactory - a major limitation was my inability to use cut, copy and paste to and from other applications. I make extensive use of copy and paste both for data entry and for copying information from DP to other applications. Also, under DosBox, I don't think i is possible to import data except from files in the DP directory I switched to running DP - and WP5.1 - by running it in a virtual XP machine, and with a little tweaking was able to copy and paste from DP to applications running under Vista as well as under XP, and ready access to all the drives and directories on the whole computer Robert On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 2:03 PM, Don Friedman <[email protected]>wrote: > I know that there has been discussion about this but I can't seem to find > a way to search it out on the main site.
