From: bsp10@cd.amdahl.com (Byong Pak) Subject: Dos emulator vs. Quicken 6.0 Date: 29 Dec 1992 22:39:14 GMT
It does work!!! contrary to my previous post, I have gotten quicken to
work under the emulator. The install program did not work correctly, but
If I install it onto my dos partition (using DOS) then access the dos partition
directly under the emulator (i.e. as per the README in 0.4) it comes up.
However, there is one slight problem... hum... ok well, 2 slight problems.
1. I am assuming that the dos emulator does not do anything with the 8th bit
of the ascii code. I.e. quicken uses some IBM graphics characters but
they do not translate well to the character set that is used in the
emulator. Is there any way to change that?
2. If I run quicken under dos. the drive that it is on is C: if I run it
under the emulator, the drive becomes D: is there any way that I can set
this up to be the same under both OS's?
Kudo's to the dosemu people (or person) Now I have no reason to boot DOS...
