A friend developped a makro recorder for DOSBOX, but it's not completely functional as it should be the case.

But first a definition what this tool does: When DOSBOX is executed, a file named trace.log is created if not already existing and all information about key presses, releases and mouse clicks are stored. If DOSBOX is restarted, the file is not overwritten, but the new information that comes additional is stored under the already existing one. When renaming trace.log to trace.rep, it is possible to replay and stop it by pressing "^" key (next to the key "1" on the left part of the keyboard, I'm telling this, because I'm using German keyboard).

Now some of the problems that might need to be fixed:
-Keys were planned to work on cycles, so that it will work with different cycle speed, but somehow he got the wrong counter. Does anyone now the "real" counter?
-Mouse movements are not recorded, though clicks are executed. But the problem is that these clicks come out of nowhere and are only applied to where the "real" mouse currently is.

Here's the link to the files: If anybody has some hints for improvements, please tell here. I hope also that someone might be inspired by this to continue the work. Maybe this feature will also find its way to a final version of DOSBOX.

I know that this should actually go in the patch section, but I'm not a moderator, so please understand that I post it here.
