 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Why in DosBox? It's a Windows executable program not a DOS program... Frank |

" The Windows/DOS version of MMBasic was created to make it easy to evaluate MMBasic. It is a single executable that does not need installation, just double click on the executable and MMBasic will run in a DOS window on Windows (including Windows 10). " Duh ... Got confused by the " Dos window " my site |

There used to be EXAGEAR for the Raspberry - unfortunately that no longer exists. Maybe this video will help? Frank |

"will run in a DOS window on Windows": it is NOT a DOS window. it is a win32 console window that runs win32 applications. while there is a compatibility layer built in to allow running real-mode MSDOS applications, i'd be surprised if many such applications even still exist. and MMbasic is not such an application. DOSBOX emulates a 386 processor and MSDOS. it is incapable of running win32 applications. it can run real-mode MSDOS applications, including those that switch into protected-mode to access memory beyond the 1mb boundary and make use of 386 instructions. just to make it perfectly clear, there is NO SUCH THING as MMbasic for DOS. people might call it that, but this is wrong. there is MMbasic for win32 console mode. this is a windows application, NOT a DOS application, that has no GUI abilities and can only run in the console window provided by windows. cheers, rob :-) |
