So will one be able to use it as Linux evolves?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.-- Patricia M. Godfrey PriscaMG@xxxxxxxx
