It's poking around for Novell NetWare, although I don't know what level of network support it requires. It's also doing absolute disk reads with INT 25, and that's not going to work in DOSBox unless you boot a real DOS.

This appears to be a commercial app, and if so, shouldn't be posted here.

I'm sure it was a commercial app. But my research into it shows that the company went out of business years ago and the developer died soon after writing this. Nevertheless, you are probably right in that is shouldn't be posted.

Especially if there is no hope of it working...

Thanks for the help

As ripsaw said it might work better when booting some dos in dosbox.

Thanks. I'll give that a try when I have a few minutes.

Are there any advantages/disadvantages to booting an actual DOS install in DOSBox versus the fake DOS that DOSBox provides by default?

disadvantage is that you have no normal mounted drives

adventage is that you have a 100% compatible OS 😀

Yeah the big disadvantage is that you loose the CD-Rom support (be it mount or imgmount).

Actually, there is a way to get CD support in booted hard disk images (kind of) using an image big enough to hold the contents of the CD(s) and the FAKECD/FAKEDR utilities. Wouldn't recommend it to novice DOS users, though. I've had good level of success with it on a number of CDROM games that I wanted to test under real DOS in DOSBox. CD audio is not audible, but the games don't know that, and at least function.

As Qbix already said the bad thing is that microsoft didn't provide a block device for mounted drives.
But of course everybody's free to use the 100% compatible (but memory sucking)
dos he likes.
