Use of DOSBox with SIAM simulations

We have found the open source application DOSBox invaluable in getting our simulations to run with Windows Vista, and useful with XP also; for those of you who are more adventurous, it also allows them to be run with Linux!

The latest released version of DOSBox is 0.7.2, and you can download it from www.dosbox.com. You may do better, though, to try DFendR, DOSBox FrontEnd Reloaded, which provides a rather easier installation and setup. You can find more about this at dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net. We haven’t used this, but it looks worth a try.

If you look at the DOSBox configuration file dosbox.conf, you will find helpful comments explaining all the options. Sometimes they’re a little cryptic, but I’ve usually found Google can find an explanation somewhere. You can download here the configuration file we use.
