All:
An elderly client is REALLY unwilling to use a mouse, and is concerned
that 20 year old DOS system will die.
DOSBox appears to run that precious mailing list program fine, but
printing is not officially supported yet. The unofficial MegaBuild
version appears to be aimed at Windoze users, as several dll files are
needed.
I'd imagined a Linux PC (with USB support!) that would automatically
launch DOSbox which would launch the program, and the user could just
get to work, but how to print???
FreeDOS would likely work, but if DOSBox could print to a file, couldn't
some Linux program spot that new file and send it to the printer?
Thanks,
Tom
