I'm experiencing some issues with the latest SVN-Daum release.

Progams such as Professional Write asking for files of the program on floppy when I run them, or that is licensed to be used on 1 workstation and etc.

PFS running without issues on 0.74 version.

Why is this happening?

Because Daum has several patches that are interfering and no one is there to fix that. Daum is not suppirted here, btw.

Thank you.

I know that it isn't an official build!

But it's the only version that I can print older documents on my usb printer using DOS applications.

Also it supports glide and 3Dfx games.

For the history it works without issues, using a .conf file from the 0.74 version. 😀

Have you tried vDosPlus for office software tasks?

Yes but DOSBox is better. I've just want to be able to print some old documents from Professional Write. Οnly SVN builds are supporting printers.

vDosPlus is based on DOSBox and Daum is broken and unsupported.

The maintainer is no longer working on Daum, so anything that's broken will stay broken. If it has issues with your applications you need to find another way to tackle the problem.
