For beginners or those not well up on DOXBox, it can be difficult to know which DOSBox version is best, so they probably end up just using the now pretty old version 0.74. But a faster build, with the best (or most commonly used, or whatever) of the new features would be very enticing and easy to …

But having LFN support in the shell would be very useful to quickly cd between directories on disk. Having to deal with all those progra~1 is so annoying.

The AWE64 is over 2 decades old. It is an ISA card. If you are talking about editing the autoexec.bat you are most likely not even talking about running on NTVDM, let alone Win2k or later much less a supported version of Windows.
