    It's not perfect using dosbox, but it works. I created shortcuts for Sempoint and bluewave that launch dosbox-x and the program I want.

    Before I got my ultrawide monitor, I ran DOSBOX-X in a 16:9 window with
    a little bit of tweaking and dealiasing, and got a great looking full
    screen environment. I liked not being able to copy/paste, and instead
    focusing on a full screen window. It was a nice respite from multiple
    windows and multitasking.

    Bluewave was the best choice for sure! I was a huge fan of the format
    and used it for years.

    Aside: A message of mine made it into the sample BW packet included in
    the install package.








    I'm currently connecting to a synchronet board
    and the version of QWK built into sync is the best there is. Long
    subject lines, etc. Sempoint can deal with threads and the rest of the good stuff and keeps a local squish database.

    ... If you didn't get caught, did you really do it?
