I use Windows Commander which offers a nice command line. I use this command line to run Saa32.exe with a filename of the tune I want to play. Without this filename, the Saa32.exe does nothing except showing help, and closes. If you want to run it from Windows Explorer, you must find a way of telling him what file it should play.
Please tell me why do you think a picture of a window (you sent me off the list) can show whether the application is a DOS one or a native Windows one? That is not possible, because - as I wrote earlier - it's by design of Windows 9x/NT 3.x and later, that all console applications are run in console window. This console Window has that stupid "MS-DOS" icon, but it is not real MS-DOS. The only reason why SamPlay doesn't have anything more than simple text-based output is that it has been converted from the original DOS version with the same look. One day I will kick out this DOS look, but......not yet :-) best regards, Aley Keprt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wolfgang Haller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 11:53 PM Subject: SAAemu > Note that this program doesn't work in DOS mode!!! > Conversely, it is a new version which is designed for Windows 2000/XP. > It is > also 100% compatible with older Windows with DirectX.
