The Latest DOSbox...

See now that's presently what 99% of my AROS experience has been devoted too! It's really amazing what all was written for DOS, especially in the mid 90's! It's like having all those games that would have been released for Amiga CD if Amiga had not died (corporately.)

As for the rest of this kit, if it works out the bugs you suggested it works out in Aros-exec, I'm going to be a very happy man and will no doubt find new uses for this Amiga like environment!
