well I'd actually like dosbox to run dos programs there are just some
games I like nvda or whatever to read as text as they were used to do.

hi Tom.
the problem however is that for eamon, you are talking about a huge
existing body of work, all with very specific ways of working. The
reason frank is using basic is simply one of necessity and
compatibility with the older programs.
Call it outdated if you like, but essentially it's like saying
"Well that old black and white film real of casablanka from the
30's is outdated and won't run on modern digital media, lets reshoot
the entire film!).
If your going to undertake a monumental preservation project, I'd
actually suggest writing an accessible dosbox for playing text
adventure games would be a much easier project to do, have the same
affect, and be usefull in other circumstances, indeed last I heard
frank was investigating something like this himself precisely
because of the compatibility problem.
Beware the grue!
