| I read something about a freeware dosemulator für Win CE named pdosbox
but i cant find a working download of this program 
is it anywhere avaiable or is there an other good program to do this?
(if it is working I want to try to run Windows 3.1 on it but its just an idea couse i have too much time at the moment.... ) |

| You want version 0.63:

It requires GAPI for HPCs to work. 
PocketDOS is very good, but it's not freeware. Edited by CE Geek 2007-05-12 2:10 PM

| Just to clarify, the link I posted above is for version 0.63 of pDOSBox. (Jax184 sneaked in his post while I was typing mine. ) |

| pBosbox will not run on my Jornada
the windows shortly appears on the screen and than closes
i editet the [autoexec] section of the dosbox.conf to
@echo off
mount c "/Speicherkarte2/DOS/pDOSBox-p1"
@echon on
cause this is the correct path to the files but it will not work
what I am doing wrong?
GAPI is installed. |

You can run DOS applications
.....for example? Could I run WordPerfect 5.1 on my little hpc? lotus 1-2-3 v. 2? I love those programs...OK! OK! I'll come out of the closet now...I love DOS...i hate windows...i hate windows! I HATE WINDOWS!!!! there..i said it..i feel better ahhhhh sigh...but back to the topic. There is a program called Arachne that is a pretty good DOS browser...might be a little tough with the windsock, etc making the connection.
Is the cpu for the j720 equivalent to a 286? 386? 486? It doesn't do much good if I can run a nifty DOS program on my H/PC only to discover...that I can't really RUN it...can't really even WALK it..but have to watch it crawl along on the ground at a snails pace.
Will the DOS emulator work on a NEC 880?

| On the pocketdos website there is a link to user forums where you will find lists and lists of dos programs that work. |

| yes ther is a list of running programs but i think most of this will not run on any HPC cause its too slow
I have an 2,6GHz Processor in my PC and on this some bigger programs are running slow for examlpe one of the best DOS games calle Master of Magic ( www.mater-of-magic.freehostia.com )
so has anybody an idea why pdosbox will not run on my jornada? |

the j720's cpu is better than a 486, i think, but emulation is an extra task especialyl as the jornada cpu isnt even x86 based, so pocketdos emulates a 286, can be a 3/486 with some plugins but then it is slower i think.
dont know about dosbox. |

I believe there's another edit you have to do in the config file. (I don't recall it myself. ) There's a link in this thread that may help:

| I'm one of those people that used DOS in the good 'ol days - the days of Wordperfect 5.1, Norton Commander, Dbase III, Lotus 1-2-3, Stacker (doubling your HD - WOW I have 40MB instead of 20MB ), DR-DOS, Norton Disc Doctor etc. etc.
After I noticed that there was a DOS emulator for Pocket PC's and HandHelds - I bought a copy and searched my attic for those old applications.... but I didn't find them (my wife threw all my Floppy-discs away )
Did a quick google search - and voila : Vetusware - A huge site where you can download abandonware.
Now I run my old stuff on my J720 - and it works great! |

| Hi,
I know it's a bump!
Anybody got Pocketdos 0.63, as the internet archive doesn't have the files.
Thanks. |
