That version of WINCMD13 that I built and posted doesn't seem to work correctly, so I'm still hoping for a copy of version 1.4. Meanwhile, in case 1.4 doesn't show up, does anyone know of a Windows 3.x utility that will open the Run... box without going through the Program Manager's File/Run... menu …

I'm mildly intrigued enough to want to see what the end result project will be... looking forward to it. It's an improved update of the thing described in the last post here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=57756#p639695 Don't download the version linked there. When I'm done, I'll upload …

OK, I'm a bit slow, but I seem to figure it out eventually. Here is WINCMD 1.3, built with Visual C++ 1.52. I know this fact is irrelevant to games, and probably everyone knows this already, but you can run Visual C++ in Win311 under DOSBox as long as you run FAKESHAR.COM before starting Windows, …

OK, I figured out how to build WINCMD by including only these files in the project: wincmd.c wincmd.def wincmd.rc The executable runs, but it doesn't have its icon. I know I can add it via a resource editor, but I'd prefer to build it in. When I get that done (if I ever figure it out), I'll post 1.3 …

Re: Win 3.1 utilities - WINCMD 1.4, instant exit?

So I installed MSVC 1.52 in a VirtualPC Win311 setup, and created a new project from the WINCMD13 source, including all the files, but when I build it, I got 170 errors saying that things were defined more than once. If anyone is generous enough to tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'll be very grateful …

I may come back and ask for the latest versions of WinCLI and WinDOS, and thanks for trying. Meanwhile, I've found source code for WINCMD 1.3, and will try to teach myself how to build it, but if anyone (1) is interested, and (2) has a copy of Visual C on a Wiin 3.1 setup or a later version that can …

Win 3.1 utilities - WINCMD 1.4, instant exit?

Posted on 2018-01-07, 15:46

For a project I'm working on that I hope will be useful to other people, I'm trying to find some Windows 3.1 software that seems to have disappeared when BBSes disappeared: Douglas Boling's WINCMD.EXE 1.4 (I have 1.2) and the associated library WCLIB.WCL 1.1. If it exists, a utility that exits …

Win3.11 - S3 Drivers

Posted on 2018-01-05, 04:22

The Windows 3.11 drivers linked in the Window 3.11 guide seem not to work with French and other versions of Windows 3.11. I found a set of drivers that seems to work perfectly here: https://www.classicdosgames.com/drivers.html Probably this is linked somewhere else also, but I thought it was worth …

MAPPER_AddHandler for Ctrl-Shift-Alt-V ?

Posted on 2017-12-31, 14:54

I have a project that uses a paste-clipboard feature that derives from dbDOS (and which seems to be in the DOSBox-X code also). For various reasons, I've mapped it the paste-clipboard to Ctrl-Alt-F4, but I would like to map it, if possible, to Ctrl-Shift-Alt-V. I was able to map it to Ctrl-Alt-v ( …

Save Windows 3.1 clipboard to text file?

Posted on 2017-12-30, 23:10

This almost certainly isn't game-related, but I hope it's OK to ask it here. I followed Dominus's excellent Windows 3.1 installation guide to set up a Win 3.1 system running under DOSBox on a Windows host. Using various projects I developed in the past, I can print from Win 3.1 apps to the default …

Re: Enlarging the size of the screen

Posted on 2017-12-23, 16:37

These are the original screen dimensions of that time. Just to clarify: the "original dimensions" are in pixels, not inches or millimeters. So a game might use one of the standard resolutions of the time, something like 640x480 pixels, and that's the number of pixels DOSBox (correctly) gives it, …
