2013-05-25: Update to RunExit tool
This is an update to the RunExit tool I created a few years ago for Windows 3. The original tool just plain ran the program and waited for it to complete. It didn't set the working directory for the program it ran (which messed up some programs, such as the games from Microsoft's Best of Entertainment pack) and didn't pass parameters, which may limit the usefulness in some other cases.
2010-01-26: Created RunExit tool
A user at the VOGONS forums posted a question about being able to start Windows 3.1 (inside DOSBox) with another application and shutting down that Windows instance (and thus DOSBox) immediately when that application exits. This would normally be accomplished by setting the application as the shell in place of the default (Program Manager) by changing the shell=progman.exe line in SYSTEM.INI to the path of the application's executable.
2008-04-05: New tool: DOS file substitution
Being a bit obsessed about the perfect retro game experience, I like to run my old games through DOSBox with various different configurations. What can I say? Sometimes I like to hear Space Quest 3 with AdLib sound, sometimes in glorious MT-32 and occasionally, I like to giggle at the PC speaker bleeps.
2007-12-19: PC Paint 3.1 available for download
Pictor/PC Paint has been my bitmap editor of choice for many years. In May of 2007, I created a small patch for version 3.1 of PC Paint to enable it to run properly in DOSBox. Having seen this, Canadian software developer Bill Buckels sent me an e-mail and contacted John Bridges asking him for permission to distribute the program for free. As John graciously agreed, I am delighted to be able to offer you the original version of PC Paint 3.1 for download. I've set up a separate page for it.
