I've always liked Filemon from http://www.sysinternals.com when it comes to diagnosing problems with troublesome Windows programs - it can show exactly what files any Windows program is trying to access.

Obviously DOS is very different, but can something similar be done with DOSBox? Is this sort of functionality available in one of those debug-enabled versions of DOSBox I've heard about? (Where do you get one of those, anyway? It's not mentioned in the CVS thread.)

Isn't all DosBox file access sshown in the debug ver in the console window? if so then use that and use log= setting in dosbox.conf to redirect console output to a text file.

As long as I know, Ctrl-Pause used to be broken in windows, so the hot key was changed to Alt-pause. By doing "config -writeconf dosbox.conf" on the dos prompt in debugger, you can get [log] section.
