Yes thanks tom, this started on the nvda list where someone wanted to
use q basic to program in of all things aparently dos aint all dead right now.
To be honest though my view is if you don't have a hardware synth and
the right software and depending on what you want its near impossible
to get its not worth it.
True a couple free readers are around but still.
Another thing is work vertual machines run slow on windows unless you
have hardwre vertualisation and since I wager most of us won't have
it unless we all got macs then good luck to running it.
Believe me I tried a win xp and a linux vm on here.
Easier to get a 32 bit system or run dos somehow but if you don't
have the stuff well.
I have always wanted either a dosbox emulator or at least something
like the dos4 gw program that could run 16 bit programs in 32 bit mode.
If we could have a 16 to 32 bit bridge it would not be so bad but we
don't even have one of those.
heck all dosbox would need is an accessable frontend to run games as
long as it all looped back to itself, there is one for freepascal the
programming commandiline language I mucked with at school so in
theory there should be one though being a true dos buff I'd take true
dos any day but with the fact I have no hardware synth and will have
to need windows screenreaders a frontend would be easier.
Someone also suggested sygwin which I have not bothered with really
and something called ms sys but I donn't know what this package is.

Hi Shaun and all,
I'd like to point out while I appreciate you sending the Dos games to
the list it would be helpful to remind people that if they are running
a new PC with a copy of 64-bit Windows that any older Dos games will
not work. They'll have to setup a virtual machine in order to run
older MS Dos compatible games and software.
Cheers!
