Pros
Works exactly like it says it will!
Cons
Some MSDOS commands not available.
Summary
I may be the only (?) non-gaming user of this product, but it sure was a lifesaver for me in being able to continue using an old DOS accounting program, that I wrote in 1985 that I have used continuously since. But alas, there was no way to run it from the command line on my new 64-bit Windows 7 computer . Dosbox really saved my bacon. Runs my old program fine after some changes were made to the program. Happily, I was able to edit the program using DOS Turbo Pascal, which runs perfectly in Dosbox!
This is a nice tool
