Hi Shaun,
I'm afraid not. Dosbox isn't accessible on any platform with any
screen reader unless you install a Dos screen reader and hardware
synth into Dosbox. The only way to run Dos programs on Linux with any
degree of access is Dosemu passing it a couple of switches to run it
as a dum terminal
Hi Josh,
All of the DOS games you described were developed by me and Carl when we
were known as Personal Computer Systems.
I don't mind you distributing the games as they never had registratio keys
to keep people from copying themn and giving them out to friends.
The instructions file did state
Hi Ron,
I've been looking at rewriting some of my favorite Dos games in Python
so they would be cross-platform, and be available for a modern PC
running say Windows 7, but I wouldn't do it without Phil's personal go
ahead as they still belong to PCS games as far as I am concerned.
Cheers!

Hi Ron,
No. Something you need to understand is that newer 64-bit processors
and 64-bit operating systems such as Windows 7 are not able to execute
8-bit and 16-bit programs without some virtual emulation layer like
Dosbox, Dosemu, etc. So unfortunately these games are out of the
question.

Hi Josh,
As far as I know there is no laptop layout for Speakup. The only way
to get one or create one is by editing the hex codes for your keyboard
map file, and recompiling the kernel which is probably more work than
you want to do in order to have a keyboard map file that uses the
capslock key

Yes I do agry with that. I think that the Radio is a better way to

Well, personally I think a Windows XP virtual machine is the best
solution for playing these old games. I am saying that both as a

Hi Lenron,
That is a bit more complicated than I can discuss at any length in
this email, but the basic idea is this. You download a free copy of
VMWare Player for your platform from http://www.vmware.com, register
it, and then you take your old Windows XP CD and install it into
VMWare Player.

hi Desiree,
My DOS Shoot game uses the PC speaker for targeting, so even a virtual xp

Hi Josh,
Any Night Football is very close to Jim Kitchen's football game.
The two major differences is that it had real player's stats from the 1988
season and that it had more choices for offence and defense.

yeah its too bad espeak can't be made to work in dosbox. make a dos
