Re: XyWrite DOSBox MAC



Harry,
Just typed the "DOS" command while in Xy running on DOSBox with Randor and was pleased to be greeted with the words

"DOSBox Shell v0.61 . . .
For supported shell commands type: HELP . . ."

at c:\> prompt I typed exit and found myself back at the Xy command line
So I would say Yes, you can shell out to DOS from within Xy running on DOSBox Mac OS X with Randor. Very nice indeed.

Many thanks to Paul Breeze for mentioning DOSBox the DOS emulator. It is also ported for Mac OS X and another open source developer has a front-end GUI called Radnor for MAC OS X.

1. Can you shell out to DOS from within Xy?
2. How do you install DOSBox on the Mac? I downloaded DOSBox and unstuffed it, but can't run the resulting program (some library is missing). Step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated.
