Re: type nul > causes DOSBox to lock up

I doubt a game would make use of this, but this is a common "zero byte" file creator. I guess it's a .BAT file that needs to create such a file (to use it like a flag, or to cheat a game).

I'm afraid Great Hierophant isn't totally wrong. Some CGA cards had TV-Out. AFAIK, Sinclair PC200 had TV-Out, and a friend's Toshiba also had TV-Out. Also, no monitor I ever saw has a TV input (but some TFT monitors), so making a monitor PAL, SECAM or NTSC compatible is a nonsense. And I'm with QBiN …

I suggest you to post some extra data... - Your systems specs. - Operating system. - DOSBox version. - Configuration of DOSBox. But, I think you have more problems than DOSBox. DOSBox does not change your system configuration... or at least it is unrelated to you DOS prompt problem (I assume you are …

Norton Commander 5.0 works fine inside DOSBox. I don't think an internal shell would be needed. P.S.: Look behind you! A Sardaukar!

I don't think it would be a bad idea... Many emulators have menu bars... MESS is a good example. You can mount/extract/create disks with menus. But I'd prefer more compatibility and/or speed... or SVGA support... a menu bar it's not necessary, but it would help newbies.

There are some words …

Dynamic core is the fastest cpu mode and also the least compatible. Full core, on the other hand is most compatible and slower mode. A trade-off between speed and compatibility is normal core. Maybe a "normal" core is all you need, but maybe using DOS32 instead os DOS4GW may allow you to use a " …

1.- It means CTS/RTS flow control. There was two kinds of flow control with serial ports: Hardware (using CTS and RTS lines) and software (also known as XON/XOFF... you send a XON char, a byte of data and then a XOFF char... repeat ad nauseam). Of course, you may use no flow control... and send all …
