You can build up almost perfect "clones" in software with PCEm virtual machines, though they are hard to set up (find the ROMs, does not look straight forward on first look, ...)

But once it's set up you can choose from a big variety of chipsets, BIOSes, CPU, video cards, sound cards, RAM, drives, network, ...


I just thought you can approximate how much RAM and power your program needs. If you like to test virtualized PCem will be quite handy. These 2 configurations I have said, are because, these are two very common DOS-computer-configurations (1 at the lower end of spectrum, 1 at the upper end). Given a few numbers to these configurations, people can estimate what your software will do on their hardware.

An i5 today may be used sometimes for DOS, but only by a very few enthusiasts I think. I would rather install Linux on that i5 and get me an pentium on ebay with that i5 ;)

Ok, if i can, i will test on your specific configuration but i need to find these Equipements! Not easy now...
So, Ishall keep you informed..

    It would be interesting what is your tool able to do on something
    like a pentium 133/64mb RAM and a 386/8mb RAM, but right now I
    can't test. Maybe you can say from what you know about the
    internals of your software.

    Hi,
    1) concerning Shapix, yes, shapix (executable file) should be in
    a new redistribution or repackaged form.
    But modifying the copyright (exe file only) _is not available_.
    The BMP demo file (riad.bmp) is also under a copyright. (see
    legal stuff on the website shapix.org <http://shapix.org> for more)
    2) About memory capacity, testing for FreeDos was realized with
    this setup: LapTop, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU @ 2.30GHz with 8GB
    Memory
    I suggest 2GB Memory at least (for BMP image size < 2Mo) but no
    problem for 16bits running application.

    regards,
    Olivier

        It is unclear from the license if it allows redistribution.
        And if so,
        can it be in a modified (repackaged) form? Could you clarify?

        Also, I assume image processing requires a lot of memory. In
        this regard,
        is the 16 bit version somehow limited?
