Good day,

We have an old program on board called, KXTD1232 (Panasonic software programming)

I have installed DOS box, and i did follow the instructions for mount. After that the mount was succesfull, and i can see the files.

When i type prog.exe the response is " This program requires Microsoft Windows "

Can somebody explain me what i am doing wrong?

Many thanks for reading.

Best Regards,

M. Verlaan

You are using DOSBox for a Windows program. DOSBox is for Dos programs.

Glad you got the problem sorted out, but DOSBox isn't intended for running serious DOS programs, only DOS games. Using DOSBox might work fine for you, or might later on cause a problem with your program, so you might be better off using VDOSPlus (http://www.vdosplus.org), or VDOS (https://sourceforge.net/projects/vdos/).
