Easy and useful!
nanoduckJanuary 22, 2012
Pros
It was easy to install and didn't have a problem getting it to work. It is so much easier than trying to run a program with DOSBOX only...all I needed to do was make an entry and point it to the file to run and then all you need to do is click on it and it runs.
Cons
Maybe more features?
Summary
Highly recommended if you want an easy way to run your old DOS games and programs.
Wonderful DOSBox Frontend
AsuyukaAugust 25, 2011
Pros
Easy to Use Easy to Setup Quick to Setup Games Not Very Big
Cons
None that I know of.
Summary
In short, DOSShell is a lovely little DOSBox Frontend. It runs with DOSBOX flawlessly, and makes setting up newer games a breeze. Probably my favorite since D-Fender vanished.
Waste of Time for such a small program

Pros
One one pro it is free.
Cons
Need to take a course to understand, is a waste of time. Windows is suppose to make things simpler. Once you load this is suggest loading dosbox.
Summary
NOT anything like you old Dosshell, more like a maze.
Couldn't get it to do the job
MrHenders0nDecember 7, 2010
Pros
Costs nothing
Cons
Despite much faffing about I never succeeded in getting it to launch the one DOS application (the game 'Z') that I need DOSBox for. Possibly it's capable of it, but it turned out to be easier to use DOSBox directly, despite the poor documentation.
Summary
Still have not been able open a MYM file.
