Here are my specs: http://www.phifamily.com/specs.html . Relevant to this inquiry: Computer #1.

I'm trying to run Wasteland in DOSBox 0.60 - or more specifically, the Character Editor for this game that's floating around the Web. I can mount the directory and launch "WLEDIT" all right, and everything within the editor works fine with all versions that I've tried, but the trouble is that I cannot SAVE any changes! No keyboard input is accepted after the prompt "SAVE (Y/N)?".

Is there any anyone with thoughts on why this happens and/or how it might be remedied? TIA.

I might add that DOSBox allows me to play X-COM: UFO Defense and a related savegame editor just fine, except for a little lag.

I lately fixed some issues related to saving of files.

Are you referring to what's on this page:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dosbox/dosbox/ ?
Hmm, it looks as though I would need to know how to compile. 😳 😁 It's also not exactly clear to me whether this is portable enough to work on all platforms, so instead of you explaining to me step-by-step what should probably be a common procedure, I might just wait until the 0.61 release, by which time it will all be in one tidy WinDoze installer... 😅

Do I understand properly that the "saving games" issue affects other applications as well?
