The games database says summer challenge works with 0.58, but I get the same message with 0.58. Any clues? Also, if anyone knows how …

I just tested out installing windows 3.1.1 on the cvs version of dosbox and the installation ran to completion. Prior versions of dosbox would not even run the install program so I don't think this is an april fools joke. However, when I tried running win, I get the following error: MODEM:Can't open …

You can already do this, specifying various config files with the -conf paramater in your shortcuts. This is silly, you mean to tell me you have 50 different config files and 50 different shortcuts for every dos game you have?
