Re: dbDOS sells vDosPlus for $149



I cannot say for Jos, but obviously I never gave anyone the permission to sell vDosPlus. It is supposed to be free for everyone, and never for profit. I do not have the time to try dbDOS myself yet, so I am not sure exactly how the latest version works though.

Is this without the permission of the vdos developers, is it ascertainable ?

dbDOS was a commercial product designed to run dBase in DOSBox, even though that guaranteed data loss because DOSBox doesn’t lock files. The latest version, introduced in the past few days, uses vDosPlus in a more or less disguised version. It costs $149 to get essentially what the Xy installer provides free. Somehow I doubt that members of this list will rush to buy it.
