165.161.3.13:

Here is a list of every article for every application that is known to work or not work on DOSBox. This list is naturally incomplete, but over time, as users take the time to check on their favorite application, this list will help new users understand what they can expect to happen when they try to get their favorite application to work. Software applications are not the primary focus of DOSBox, and the needs of [[GAMES|games]] tend to receive a higher degree of attention by the developers over the needs of an application.

== A-N ==
== O-Z ==
* [[Software:Windows|Windows]] (versions 1.0 through Windows for Workgroups 3.11)
* WordPerfect for DOS - In order to print, need to print to a file in a format such as Postscript. Use an outside program like Ghostscript to print the Postscript file for you once WordPerfect creates it. May need the /R and /DL options on command line to launch wp.exe.
* Word for DOS - See http://www.downloadsquad.com/2005/11/25/free-file/ for some details.

DOSBox FAQ

2008-01-14T16:42:11Z

165.161.3.13:

'''Q.''' Does DOSBox support non QWERTY keyboard layouts and will it have the KEYB command?

'''A.''' It already does. Since 0.70

'''Q.''' My game/application runs slowly, how do I improve speed?

'''A.''' Increase cycles. Use core=dynamic. Try different output modes (e.g. output=overlay). Increase Frameskip.

'''Q.''' My backslash key is mapped to ']' with DOSBox in Vista. Is there a workaround?

'''Q.''' How do you print out of the DOS Box? Can you use the program's print to a parallel or serial printer?

'''A.''' If your application can print to a file, you can redirect the file to a printer. On Windows at a command prompt or at the Run option, you can use copy /b filepath_and_name to send a file to a printer. If the application can print in Postscript format, utilities like Ghostscript/Ghostview can be used to send the file to the printer.
Also, a printing option for DOSBox is mentioned here: http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-9000/dbdl.html

'''Q.''' My cursor is trapped within the DOSBox window in Linux when I click inside. How do I get the cursor out?

'''A.''' CTRL-F10
