Hello DOSBox community!

I use DOSBox to run an old 16 bit compile/linker which crashes under Win32 environment for various reasons.

So far, it looks good. Just a few questions:
- Is there are way to return an error code from DOSBox _shell_ when exiting (EXIT)?
- Are there any IPC methods implemented like piping commands into DOSBox and returning output from DOSBox while it is running? Do I have to utilize files? (So far, I use -c flag on startup.)

Cheers,
Paule

1) probably with some bat scripting (if errorlevel == 15 echo 15 >result)
2) no.
