This is a fair assessment. I've been paying close attention to DOSBox-X
ever since the "core=dynamic" and "cycles=max" settings made it
significantly faster. As you know, I run XyWrite 4 with U2, and I've
been impressed with DOSBox-X's compatibility with that setup: virtually
every routine, including the ones that depend on AutoIt, run as
expected.
(In addition to the settings mentioned above, it's essential to set
"startquiet=true" and "nocachedir=true"; also, "high intensity
blinking=false" is recommended.)
As excellent as vDosPlus is, it's at a developmental dead end, while
DOSBox-X is in the throes of active development, which can be both
exciting and frustrating. But having Wengier on the team gives
XyWriters an energetic, responsive advocate within the project. It will
remain on my radar, for sure.
