Hi all,
Apologies if there has been a topic posted on this before but I did search and didn't find anything.
I am trying to make a legacy DOS accounting package that I am involved with maintaining run under DOSBOX for the purpose of making it run on a 64-bit system. I have got most of it working but one brick wall I have hit is that the software shells out to Microsoft Word (and occasionally a few other Windows-based applications) for the purpose of printing reports. Obviously DOSBOX will not run these itself, so I am looking for a way of launching 32-bit applications outside DOSBOX by doing something inside it.
Has anyone ever done anything like this before? I would appreciate any thoughts on how I might do it.
Thanks 😀
