The wiki can be edited by anybody. It's documentation for users by users . Not documentation from developers to users. Thanks for the reply. Since it's published under the DOSBox domain URL, the wiki appears to include information from developers, too. This vogons forum is outside the DOSBox domain …

the devs to do the work for you because that is not what they are here for. They are here to provide support for games, that is all. But that's NOT what the DOSBox wiki says. It says that "most applications work fine in DOSbox" (including NON-game office applications). The wiki then shows a list of …

After asking a fairly straight-forward question about running an application in DOSBox, I received several replies suggesting that I should not be running my database application in DOSBox (for the last several years). One DOSBox contributor said: "Don't. Just don't" Why would a contributor to the …

At no stage did any text appear remotely resembling what you quotes. Get that malware infection off your PC, or stop clicking every gigantic "DOWN LOAD NOW!!!" button you see. You haven't shown what happens after you click "Download". What happens is you're presented with a ".7z" compressed file …

someone with a sticked thread and over ten thousand posts on a given message board just might have some idea about what he's talking about. Someone with that kind of history should know better than to post such an ill-mannered, even snotty, response to an honest question. There is no excuse for …

The thread title is "DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION" I don't know how it could be more related to DOSBox without mentioning DOSBox a few more times. DOSBox. Read it again: the _POSTER_ is no relation to DOSBox, not his REPLY is no relation to DOSBox. He posted a reply …

You don't need to wait for DOSBox 0.75 to get the fix. Did you read DosFreak's link? Yes, but it leads to a (spam?) download site which requires that I agree to accept a trainload of conditions. Here's what it asks in order to get DOSBox (still v0.74): "What is Zoom Downloader? Zoom Downloader is a …

I have discovered that a particular DOS database application runs flawlessly in DOSbox, better than the WinXP MS-DOS box. Is DOSbox interested in listing non-game applications that run in DOSbox?

Quit having desires and hopes if you cannot make them yourself and enjoy and live the moment Gee, if I could make it myself I wouldn't need DOSbox, would I? Anyway, don't bug me about asking since the bug has been fixed at the code level, but it's just not in the download edition. So I'm not asking …

My original question (When is next release of DOSbox scheduled?) now says,"This topic is closed", so I'm trying to continue the thread by starting again. It's like the old saying,"In order to learn you have to be willing to ask stupid questions!" If I didn't ask, I wouldn't have known that the next …

Does any know when the next release of DOSBox (v0.75?) is coming out? I'm just after the number pad fix that's in the next release.

Good enough news. I really like DOSBox's config file setup, so I was hoping to stay with DOSBox as it evolves. It works like DOS, except that it's MUCH nicer to set up and tune than the original DOS. Especially setting up DOS memory, sound & video. As long as the keyboard fix is in the pipeline, I …

You're right,Qbix. It starts up after poking it several times. I never would have thought of that. Do you think this would ever be fixed?

Being a book-keeper, I instinctively use the num-pad when entering numbers, but it crashes my games in DOSBox. Can I request num-pad support be added to DOSBox?

My PC number pad seems to be disabled in DOSbox. Using the top-row numbers is OK, but not the number pad, which crashes my game. I've searched here for variations of "number pad" but don't find anything useful. Can anybody tell me how to activate the number pad?

This problem is really a DOSBox problem. I have a similar problem using dBase IV applications (DOSBox is much nicer to look at on a Windows system than the default Windows DOS box). dBase is free to access any and all drives on a system, but DOSBox is not so adept at accessing other drives. Perhaps …
