Having a port of DOS_Box for AROS, MorphOS, or OS4.x is a great idea, so thanks for your efforts fishy_fiz.

It helps solve the problem of limited modern software that can be run on all NG Amiga systems.

Having more software that can be run is always a good thing.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

What's the point when everyone has a peecee anyway? Back in the day it made sense, because you didn't want to buy a peecee. Having a good dos emulator on a suitably expanded Amiga meant you could use software you otherwise couldn't run, but today? Hmm...

Even though almost everyone here owns 2 or more computers and likely has at least one PC that has Windows installed on it, that does not change the desire of many to go back to running only one computer that can do almost everything instead of running multiple computers.  So I would say that even though things have changed from those old days of the Amiga with a Bridgeboard, or PCTask and Shapeshifter, the desire to run many different systems from just one computer has not changed much.
