Message   Kurt Weiske    All   The state of DOS in 2019   February 17, 2019
 5:56 PM *  

I thought I'd leverage this echo to see what people are doing with DOS and DOS
environments these days.

I run my BBS in 32-bit Windows, and have leveraged the DOSVDM in it to run my
old BBS QWK environment. Some programs seem choppy, especially the one app I
use all the time in DOS - Qedit.

I started using DOSBox-SVN Daum, a 64-bit DOS port, under 64 bit Windows 10.
With it, I get telnet to comm-port redirection, a full-screen font that renders
80x24 text nicely on a wide screen, and lets me run my old COMM programs well;
there's a weird issue with uploads I can't solve. But, it's nice to emulate the
environment I'm so comfortable with.
