Anyway, can you point out the place in source code where file names are read? I believe I can insert there a function to convert the encoding. Why not? Thanks, -- Oleg Zhukov

Hi again, Under my Vista file names are encoded with cp-1251 code page (Win Cyrillic). But DOSBox treats them as if they were in cp-866 (DOS Cyrillic) which results in wrongly displayed file names (e.g. if using DIR shell cmd). How can I fix this (any clue on modifying the sources?) ? Thanks for …

Thanks much! It was really easy!

Hi all, In my DOS app Ctrl-F9 is a useful shortcut. But at the same time this key combination closes DOSBox. How can I alter this behavior? Thanks, -- Oleg Zhukov

Just to note... My problem is rather common I believe. There's a legacy DOS program which accesses the well-known Win32 DosPrinter (PrintFil analog) application for prininting to a non-DOS printer... Anyway thank you guys 😀

Well... You're right about the DOSBox's primary intention. But it surely can run old programs as well, that is confirmed by the thread title "DOSBox Games/Apps" :) I guess the solution to my problem would require some coding in the DOSBox sources... So should I repost this question to the …

Dear all, My DOS program (if works under Windows XP DOS emulator) in some moment executes an external windows program. Under DOSBox it fails with the "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" error. How can I allow DOSBox to start a non-DOS process? Maybe any hint on modifying the DOSBox source code? …

Thank you very much! I'll try to recompile DOSBox and will post here any questions that will arise during the process :) As for the program under question - it's still slightly supported but I doubt that the developer will revise its behaivor with regard to opening less amount of files... So the …

Dear all, I'm having a DOS program which operates on many files. Trying to run it under DOSBox results in Dos Error 4 (too many open files). Under real DOS I got it working by setting "files=250" in config.sys. How can I do the same trick in DOSBox ? Thanks much in advance, -- Oleg Zhukov
