I'm sorry about the lack of clarity. I'll try to explain it again: a template is any file from which you want to derive other files. This program provides ways to add templates to its database and organize the files by groups. The DOS version gives aliases to the filenames for better readability and …

Hi! I have a Win98SE tower at my mother's house, and it has AppPlus installed on it. I admit that I haven't used it yet on this computer, but it helped out a lot on another Win98SE tower. I should start stuffing it, but, right now, I'm still stuffing the computer. :) On my in11/64 laptop, I'm using …

I just want to change the font used in text mode to one used by normal DOS: I really don't like the regular TTF it's using. I also have a program that's not installing properly. It came in the form of a .img file. I extracted the contents to a folder on the desktop and used it with DOSBox-X and ran …

I believe I had a DOS laptop that did similar. Or was it a Win98SE tower? Maybe BIOS is loading some data there? BTW, I just noticed your last thread. I don't know what could be causing that. Try a tool that can write to that memory and see what happens.

Hi! I used to have the PalmZip driver on two old computers: a DOS 6.2 laptop and a Win98SE tower. If you don't know, PalmZip is a third-party driver for the external parallel Iomega Zip100 drive. The DOS laptop had no hard drive of its own, so I had to emulate some hard drives: I was using two huge …

AFAIK, there are hardware-based EMS boards, but they should only be able to map their memory to a specific 64k page frame in the computer's memory: they can't map it anywhere else.

AFAIK, the 286 doesn't have the support necessary to emulate EMS: it can't remap XMS memory to the first 1MB of memory. I think DesqView can only copy memory to and from XMS memory on a 286; it can't actually map XMS memory to the first 1MB. So, it can't actually multitask several programs …
