Unfortunately, I have lost the sources of my program. :depressed: I meant DOSBOX... What would be needed depends on how the DOS version checked and perhaps whether your program relies on some internal version-dependent DOS structures or just checks one number... But as I said, you can boot your own …

You are supposed to move mouse when attacking in Arena/Daggerfall to simulate sword swings... IMHO it is stupid, but it is like that - the game designers tried to be originall... Mirek

DAT file is not an executable... Neither DOS, nor Windows, nor DOSBOX nor anything else will ever run it... How did you come to the conclusion that if something requires Windows to run, that you can take another file and it will run in DOS ? It is certainly not written in any manual... The only …

You can use a CVS build... A lot of people do... The new version (when it comes) will not be anything else then just CVS build made at the time when developers decide... There is not any miraculous new version made in deep secret in QBix's cellar... :-) All which is finished is in CVS or in patches …

You need to unpack it... It is selfextracting archive for Windows.... You can usually unpack it in the original packer (if it is RAR archive, then in RAR). Alternatively you can run it on a Windows computer and copy the unpacked files to your computer. Mirek

I doubt anybody will be able to help you based on the information you provided... Maybe you can arrange with somebody experienced in DOSBOX debugging that you send him the apps and he will have a look on it... Otherwise I guess you have bad luck. Mirek

Try DOSBOX... Unless you play some 3D shooters (and Larry is certainly not that 😀 ) you will be fine with it... You just could have saved the money paid for Audiophile 2496... I have never heard about it, so I guess it was something expensive... Mirek
