I am a new with Dosbox.
I used an old program for serial communication on Win-XP.

My problems which I couldn't find out on this board are..
1. I can't launch the screen saver. The saver couldn't be executed after installing Dosbox.. Is there a solution for this?

2. In the old program, the reading of time is very odd.
" Date: Dec 1, 2010 Time: 184:58:4"
I can convert the hour (3 digit!!!) to day and time.
But the display is complicated.

If it is an old program, it may not understand dates after the year 2000, and you would get this same behavior on a real DOS machine.
