Then check them out yourself.

You get the original CVS tools and docs from http://www.cvshome.org, and a gui for several operating systems from http://www.wincvs.org/

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dosbox -D"2003-02-23" co .

Date is an example.
use linux, cygwin, or get native win32 cvs version

I'm sorry guys I bother you again but the cvs on cvshome hasn't support for -D switch. where can I find one that supports it? thanks.

well you should concentrate your efforts on making the mapper better

(e.g reporting specific problems)

It's not going away and compatibility of dosbox has much improved since.

You're right Qbix, but I already submitted my problem 2 months ago:
Dosbox and "matching events"
and the only answer was "yes ok it doesn't work". Since msvc is not supported by dosbox developers I didn't reply to the topic so I don't bother them.
what can I say, I'll try by myself to edit sources in my free time.
thanks anyway.

Forget MSVC6. See CVS Builds (once a week) how to compile it using only free tools.

Personally I use MS VS NET 2003, but I tried it as above described as well. It is not that difficult to make it work.

Once MinGW and Msys are proprely set up, you just have to type "./configure", then "make" to compile DOSBox. Piece of cake 😀

last time I tried to compile with mingw-msys it took ALOT of time, and I have an athlon xp 2600+ and half gb ram. no I definitely don't like mingw.
instead msvc is easy and fast(5 min max). Makes smaller builds and the speed of emulation is the same. I alwais gone perfectly with msvc, until that mapper... 😢

Didn't take all that much time for me. I use a P4 with only 256 mbs of RAM and I'm try to optimize DOSBox. :p.
