“Summary: DOSBox 0.70 has been released

“Dosbox is a full x86 emulator. It is written in C/C++ and supports sound and
dos. Main purpose of Dosbox is running old dos games on platforms which
don’t have dos (i.e. win2k/XP/FreeBSD/Linux)”

See more at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 .

It’s bedtime+ here, so I haven’t tried it yet.

Maybe GrandView will arise in its full glory.

Just for curiosity’s sake: Why do you need Dosbox for running Grandview? A few days ago, I found GV in the library of the outliner-pims group in Yahoo and installed it in a MS DOS window in Windows XP. I played with it for a while, it ran fine. Are there any problems in XP that I did not stumble across?

YES, but I have to go out now, so response will be delayed.

Running GV under Win 2000 wasn’t tooo bad (but under Win 98SE was better), however under XP Media Center Edition some macros and some mouse functions do not work. I have not given it a thorough run-thru under XP Media.
