we dropped support for visual C++ 6

ok thanks

Can't you just upgrade to at least vs2003?

what do you mean with upgrade?

... what shoul'd be upgraded?

I need the functions of the newest dosbox version and must add a date update.
thats very important !

what do you mean with upgrade?

What visual studio are you using at the moment?

I need the functions of the newest dosbox version

What function do you need of the "newest" dosbox?

aside from moving on to Visual Studio (or Visual C++) versions later than #6,

you can always try using the (free) combination of MinGW and MSYS,

see e.g.

Hi.

I need the Date update too.
Can you help me?

Does it work?
I mean the compile version from you

lg

My latest build (homepage) has a date update (not in sync with real time).

how does it sync?

at program start and then the time drifts as it likes

with which command i can control the date?

All my patch adds is 23:59 -> 00:00 + 1 day (and month/year if needed) instead of 24:00.

mkay but how can i see it on the sceen?
is there a command like "date" or something else?

If you need that you can boot DOS inside DOSBox.

If you need to now what the current time is, you could do something like:

1C:\>echo > date.now
2C:\>dir date.now

Note: This will not give you DOSBox's internal date - it will be the date/time of the underlying (real) operating system.

how do you mean that?
if i start dosbox its the actuall date
but how can i control after midnight that the date changed?

@ h-a-l-9000:

In your newest Version there is a bug, ...
.. if it is the end of the month, the jumt to the next month is not korrekt.

if 29.02 then at midnight its 02.03

or it's the 30:03 at midnight its 00.04

i would say the date jumb is incorrect. (sorry for double post)
