I'm sorry. 🙁 Lately, I've been on a compression kick and desire to compress everything. Besides that, I want to put stuff on floppies for older computers (486/VGA laptop, Dell Win98/P2 PC) and desire to make as much room available as possible.

Thank you. I'll look at it later. BTW, I'm not ready to install WinMount. Can I get a real NTFS-formatted floppy on WinXP/Vista? I formatted a few disks and the option wasn't there. Besides that, NTFS compression is poor, and I want a better way to compress files.
Win16/DOSBox?

Is it worth the effort to install Windows 3.1 on DOSBox? Why or why not?
Using floppy images in DOSBox?
Posted on 2011-10-04, 17:36
How do I create and use floppy images for use in DOSBox? Is there a way to compress information on them other than using an executable compressor (UPX) or an archive compressor (PKZIP or RAR)? Thank you.
A Few Ideas for DOSBox...
Posted on 2011-10-04, 16:32
I have a few suggestions for DOSBox: * long filename support * usage of compressed disk images * ANSI text support * A RAM drive for temporary information might minimize some HDD clutter during DOSBox operation What do you think?
SVGA Extended Text Modes?

Does DOSBox support extended SVGA text modes? Which modes are available, and what video mode settings do I use to access them?

Sorry, I meant FURD19_i, available at http://www.resoo.org/docs/dos/free_software/disk2.htm. Look under OTHER DISK UTILS. I tried it. The XMS version broke with a divide error and the EMS version locked up. (No text displayed on the screen and I didn't get the command prompt back.)

Do the DOS ramdisk utils not work? Most DOS ramdisks load from config.sys, and those that don't may interfere with DOSBox's drive mounting approach. I will try XMSDSK now and get back to you. I for one cannot see any point to a RAM drive in DOSBox A RAMdisk shouldn't improve speed much in this case …
DOSBox Utils?

I just want to know if there are any utilities for DOSBox other than front-ends and translations.

Floppy Swap?
Posted on 2011-09-21, 15:26
If I want to either mount removable media or a folder as a floppy under DOSBox and change its location or swap disks during emulation, how do I do that?
DOSBox Menu System
Posted on 2011-09-21, 15:20
I believe that DOSBox should have a menu system to change settings such as mounted drives and processor speed and support functions such as system reset. Anybody agree?
A little compression and RAM drive
Posted on 2011-09-19, 13:40
I understand that I can use WinMount to use compressed archives as drives. I also understand that I can use a Win32-based RAM drive for quick access to data. However, I'd like to see such functionality within DOSBox. Anybody agree?
Keyboard issue/idea
Posted on 2011-09-19, 13:34
I'd like to use DOSBox for things other than games (software development, graphic demos) and am wondering about using key combinations normally trapped by the emulator. Maybe something like F12, then keystroke sends keystroke to the program.

NTFS compression can be used to compress folders and files, but I find other techniques beter. That's why I tried to use WinMount. As for calling it a bug, I still call it a bug and would at least like DOSBox to support compression. BTW: how do I use DOS disk images?
DOSBox Compression Issue
Posted on 2011-08-10, 12:55
Recently, I've been working alot on compressing files on my computer, mainly using WinMount, which you can probably find at freewarefiles.com . However, when I try to mount a compressed archive file, DOSBox stops working, whether it's accessing the drive or not. The symptom is that it starts up with …
RAMrives, compression and function keys for DOSBox?
Posted on 2011-06-05, 14:55
Hi! I'm Joseph Rose, a.k.a. Harry Potter. I have some ideas that might make DOSBox better. I'd like to see a RAMDrive available in DOSBox. I would also like a way to actually compress files under DOSBos. For this, WinMount and UPX are good enough, but this would be nice. Also, I want to use DOSBox …
