Hi,

I have some old software that won't run after 1999. I can set the clock on my PC before running Dosbox and it runs fine but it would be better if I could run Dosbox with a different system time. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

Rob.

next version there will be date command.
Keep in mind that DOSBox is intended for gaming and we don't recommend it for anything else.

Might come in handy if you wanted to play an old beta of a game that was set to no longer work after a certain time. Not sure that this was ever done with a game beta, though.
