See the post from Fred Weiner, Aug 13, 2007, on how he prints
from Xy under DOSBox.

Lovely!

so I'm curious -- though I went through the message archives pretty
carefully, I may have missed something -- why use Dosemu, if Dosbox was
working okay? (printing? system resources?)
See this, from Robert Holmgren, on Aug. 14, 2007:
>>I've played extensively with DOSBox. You can do all sorts of
file manipulations. But can you address the Clipboard? No. Can
you launch a native executable from DOSBox? No. I know that
there are people who've figured out how to shell to Linux from
DOSEMU -- that's real integration. That means that you could run
XyWrite in DOSEMU and, from a XyWrite cockpit, get Linux apps
(like GS) to launch. In DOSBox, forget it. DOSBox is great for
hermetic apps, like games. Not so great for apps that want to
reach out and touch externals. <<
