Hello,

I installed DOSbox 0.7 at my computer. It works! U like to use DOSbox for an old application unter dBase.

Now i Like to configure the system, but I don't know how ...

1.) The system run in a small window (it works with fullscreen too), but I can't read the most because of the very small letters. How can I get a bigger and poosible different font ? I fount the configuration-file but I didn't find the right keyword to change the system.

2.) I used tho lpt1-port for som output. How can I configure the DOSbox to get the information to a net-printer.

Thanks in advandce
Helge from Germany (sorry for the bad english)

Ad 1) You can use the windowresolution thing. Set it to windowresolution=800x600.

Hi khgagg
DOSBox is controlled by a file called dosbox.conf. You can configurat Dosbox by just tying dosbox.conf in run box window and press OK.It will provide setting for large font and resolution setting etc. Thanks
