I tried it several years ago, but the lack of printing (to paper)
was a deal breaker for me.
(And if it DOSBOX is able to print to paper printing devices, then
either I didn't realize it at the time or couldn't find a way, or
maybe I'm remembering it wrong.)
I used to use DOSBox to run WordStar. I never needed printing
so I did not hassle with it. (There are builds that will print. The
standard build will not.)
WordStar ran fine. (However, I found VDE (a
WordStar-compatible editor) which I now use instead except for the
odd case when a file is too big for it.)
The DOSBox developers make it very clear that DOSBox is for
games. They make no guarantees that DOSBox will work with
non-games. If you ask for something that is not required by a game,
you will get a no.
