|  The state of DOS in 2019  |
|  17 Feb 19 17:56:35  |
 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. --- SBBSecho 3.06-Win32 * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700) |
