You may prefer IDLE.COM from VPC for Win3, but it causes some DOS applications to become sluggish, such as the PowerBasic UI, because they don't expect INT 28 to sit around waiting for an interrupt. DOSIDLE works better for DOS applications because idling only occurs during keyboard input wait …

I highly doubt that running smartdrv on an image is more effective than the normal mounting in Dosbox. Using a boot image is only useful for the odd game that won't run correctly otherwise. Dosidle works in non booted dosbox as well, btw Dosidle.exe is less effective than idle.com from VPC. Again …

Yes, surely “DOS” is slower, maybe not Windows 3.11. Windows 3 uses DOS to access disk drives, in case you didn't know. Adding DOS code overhead and low-level disk access with an image file can ONLY drag down the emulation -- you do get better compatibility, but not more speed. Since no Standard …

I find Windows 3.11 runs much faster through BOOT. I find the exact opposite, which makes sense because: A) emulating the CPU instructions of real DOS is slower than DOSBox's internal DOS emulation, and B) disk images are generally slower than local drive mounting. Are you running Windows 3.11 in …

Ah, it could very well be a problem of that Windows 98 DOS. Search around for that, it may be a known issue on resl devices as well. Actually Windows 3.11 + Windows 98 DOS works well on physic machine and DosBox (no BOOT). Maybe Windows 98 DOS needs some service the current DOSBOX mouse does not …

READ correctly what I'm writing. I messed with running Windows 3.x from a boot image for years. I have NO problem with an image that has Windows 3.x on it and is booted from in Dosbox. Windows 3.x works correctly without having to use the DOS mouse driver you mention. This is with Dosbox 0.74 and …

*cough*, look at my guide for installing Windows 3.x in Dosbox. I messed with running Windows 3.x from a boot image for years. Just checked again, and no, you don't need a dos driver for windows 3.x to use the mouse. And I've used a different mouse driver with a boot image before - just search the …

Curios, you shouldn't need that for Windows 3.x. It brings its own driver (unless you need it for dos games on that image and not actually Windows 3.x). I guess you have not tried Windows 3.11 using BOOT under DosBox before. No. Neither Windows 3.11 native driver nor other DOS mouse drivers can …

The answer is running mouse.com from Microsoft VPC Additions or Integration Components Package. Here are the general steps: 1. Boot up real DOS from a hard disk image. For example: Z:>mount d c:\images Z:>d: D:>imgmount c "mywin311.img" D:>boot -l c 2. Run mouse.com from Microsoft Virtual PC …

Nope, you already moved all of the contests of dos_files.cpp into dos_files.h. So I don't need dos_files.cpp any more. And dos.cpp also required a line "Bit16u NetworkHandleList[DOS_FILES];" unexpectedly. [EDIT] All the files are inlcuded in network.diff that I attached. Woud you check it, plz? …

1) You didn't add #include into dos_netowrk.cpp. - Important! 2) Even though I added a filename 'dos_network.cpp' into Makfile.am in src/dos directory, it seems that dos.cpp and dos_files.cpp don't(or cannot?) detect dos_network.cpp. Adding "#include dos_network.cpp" to dos.cpp & dos_files.cpp is …
