More importantly, it helped my Calculus teacher continue to use an old DOS program called GyroGraphics. He has projects using it and printing surfaces from it as an important part of the curriculum, and the upgrade to Windows XP made the PrintScreen key nonfunctional. The school had an expensive site license to a program that they weren't able to use.

Also, due in part to a hospitalization but mostly due to slacking off a bit I had a 55% in AP Calc class, and today was the last day in the marking period. I needed something to bring my grade up, quickly.

Enter DosBox!

After quite a bit of tinkering and investigation I found that DosBox could be set up to perfectly meet our needs, and made a simple script to install it and copy the correct config files to the computer. My teacher gave me 13% extra credit, so now I have a 68%! Just wanted to let you know you're appreciated!

Bah, I got a 5 on the AP Calc test, back in the day. IF you can't pass Calc, you're not even trying, buddy. 😎
