- 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...
