  • OpenXP in DOS, maybe?

    From Ogg@21:4/106.21 to All on Wednesday, January 06, 2021 09:50:00
    Hello!

    The info on the site says is all:

    https://www.japheth.de/HX.html


    "HX DOS-Extender is a free DOS extender with built-in Win32 PE
    file format support. Usually the purpose of a DOS extender is to
    make protected-mode features available for DOS applications. HX
    fully supports this goal, but goes some steps further. A Win32
    API emulation layer is part of HX which allows many Win32 console applications to run in DOS. This emulation goes far beyond
    similiar approaches in other extenders (Borland's PowerPack,
    WDOSX or Phar Lab TNT). Furthermore HX implements - limited -
    support for windows, DirectDraw, GDI and even OpenGL graphics.
    This allows to run "simple" Win32 GUI apps in DOS as well."

    I find that I do most of my "for fun" work on my semi-modern desktop in DOSBOX. I like a non-multitasking, full screen environment, especially for writing.

    I'm tempted to fire up a DOS virtal machine and go all in, but there are a
    few wrinkles to work out first.


    ... Think of the radio

    I tend to multitask too much and like my network connectivity these days, so Windows is fine. :)

    Oh, OK. :)
