no but you can try using freedos with it

So....you want to have to deal with memory management and autoexec.bat/config.sys instead of just editing the conf or using a front end? Forgive me but I fail to see the point....

You can already use real msdos by booting with it.

I think it's actually better than dos 6.22 because of the autoexec.bat/config.sys stuff. So much more convenient.

Same here, but some people still claim dosbox is more difficulty than the old days. Yeah - maybe if you owned only a few games that all worked without issues. Some of us owned such classics like Ultima VII, which required an anal probe to get running without a fuss.

Being able to switch features on and off with a minor command is excellent.

be it the future... or the past

you can always use VirtualPC/VMWare to install MsDos 6.22 plus dosshell, plus the so called dos additions for mouse, cdrom access etc.

but probably you knew it already 😀

You could also slice off your right arm, but it doesn't make it a good idea. 😉

I can get more games running on DOSBox than I could on any one real DOS machine. DOSBox is like having several different PCs.

Interesting way to phrase it, but definitely not incorrect. Must remember that 😀

I had to make my own program that would swap a set of autoexec.bat and config files and then reboot the computer. So that when I needed to boot to get a particular game working, I could type something like "reboot u7". Of course I still needed to creeate the special autoexec.bat and config.sys before that would work, which was still a nightmare.

yeah, I had something like that as well. A simple batch file that would use bat and sys files from a dir, so boot u7 would copy u7.bat/u7.sys to autoexec.bat and config.sys...

I still have the stretch marks. 😲
