Hello to all!

I'm trying to run an industrial programming application called "APT" in DosBOX. I followed the instructions to mount the folder to a "D" drive.

When the program starts, the follwoing text is shown:
GSS Device Driver Management Utility
(C) Copyright 1985-1990 Graphic Software Systems, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.
Version 2.20

You are using GSS*CGI version 2.20

TSR GSS*CGI has been loaded and initialized.

And then, it gives me the error:

"VIDEO DEVICE DRIVERS NOT INSTALLED!"

The first part appears all the time, it seems that it loads some video drivers.

I checked the documentation of the program and for the video card, the help file states the following:

Graphics Card: EGA compatible, MATROX (CVU), MATROX (TISTAR), TIGA (TISTAR), VGA compatible.

The problem I have with the application is that when it runs in windows, it opens a fullscreen DOS windows. I can always Ctrl + Tab to another window, but it's a pain when you need to go back a forth every time. So I'm looking for a way to run the application in a separate window, allowing me to view other windows at the same time.

Please, let me know if you need more information.

Thanks!

Just wondering if there was ever a fix for this or if anyone could give me some guidance as I am having the same problem.
