vDosPlus is a general-purpose DOS emulator derived from vDos created by Jos
Schaars, which in turn was derived from DOSBox, the cross-platform DOS
emulator focused on DOS games. vDosPlus has all features of original vDos,
but compared with original vDos, it also has many more useful features and
other improvements, such as direct support for long filenames (LFN) and their
corresponding short filenames (SFN), enhanced keyboard and mouse support,
visual display for bold and italic texts, plus many more. However, if you
don't need any of these extra features, you can simply use original vDos
instead. Also, unlike DOSBox, both vDosPlus and original vDos are NOT for
gaming. If you want to run or play DOS games in Windows, please use DOSBox
instead, which is specifically designed for DOS gaming.
Features:
- It runs in both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, including Windows XP, Vista, 7,
8, 8.1 and 10 (all versions up to the latest release; Windows 2000 can be
supported too)
- Run your DOS applications reliably in a DOS virtual machine; the text-mode
DOS screen (either in a window or full-screen) is fully scalable with a TTF
font
- Network support and multi-user environment friendly with file- and record
locking; you can always run multiple DOS applications in different vDosPlus
sessions
- Tight integration with Windows, including direct support for Windows-style
long filenames (LFN), copying to and pasting from the Windows clipboard, and
so on
- Support for multi-monitor setups, on-screen text styles (such as bold and
italics), border/edge padding, mouse wheel scrolling, transparent window, and
many more
- Built-in 4DOS 8.00 shell which provides powerful command-line and other
functionalities; you can also find many useful information from its
interactive help system
- You can customize the config settings easily by editing the configuration
file, changing them on the fly, or you can simply use the default settings
for vDosPlus
- Powerful printing functionalities to print to PCL and PostScript printers
as well as Windows-only (GDI) printers directly; printing to PDF is also
supported
Major changes in build 2017.09.25 (2017.08.01 branch):
- Some enhancements in the internal non-4DOS shell, e.g. the DEL command now
supports a /P option for deletion confirmation for each file, and the FOR
command now supports "," and ";" as set separators as in a real DOS
