Windows [7] run without Cygwin?

[tonypdmtr]

This is exactly the program I've looking for (for years) as I have many DOS-era utilities that I need to run under Windows 7 console.

[I haven't been able to make DosBox[-x] work with text-only apps in a simple manner.]

I managed to get this emulator work straight out of the box by compiling under Gycwin, and running it there. But, I want to be able to run it under Windows console directly. It fails. I suppose it needs to be compiled differently.

Any hints on that?

Hi @tonypdmtr !

I wrote the code for an Unix OS, it does a few assumptions:

• It uses terminal-control codes for writing to the screen - this is only supported on latest Windows 10 consoles.
• Uses "fork" for running multiple instances of the emulator.
• Has logic to allow case sensitivity on filenames - on Windows filenames are case insensitive.

I won't oppose to a native Windows port, and I can help anybody interested in porting, but I won't write the port myself.

Have Fun!
