Re: Workaround for DIR in VBox

[Kari Eveli lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

Carl,

If you are looking for a reasonably priced recorder, check out BB
FlashBack Standard Edition (http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/) which works
well with virtual machines (VBox, VirtualPC 2007) and other stuff. This
is a British software company which makes a product that might be better
than Camtasia for casual users. There is a free trial edition. Check it
first before committing yourself. I liked the trial so much that I
bought the standard edition. I am planning to do commercial
presentations with this stuff.


By the way, VirtualPC 2007 does not have the Xy4 DIR problem. I think
the problem is due to lacking DOS support in VBox. The only virtual
solution that really supports DOS programs is VirtualPC 2007 with 2004
DOS additions.
