Software "subiekt 4" in DOSBox-X #1942

Open Wengier opened 3 years ago

Wengier commented 3 years ago

The user @Mikaka27 has mentioned there is software called "subiekt 4", old dos program for accounting, taxes, etc in https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/issues/656. According to @Mikaka27, the program runs fine in DOSBox-X, and DOSBox-X also supports LPT printing, but it may not scale the window correctly for this software. In dosbox-staging on the other hand, it has issues with dos files, and it does not support printing, although it may scale the window better. Since this is a non-gaming software, and as @dreamer said DOSBox-X is generally better suited to run productivity software (in addition to others), we do recommend to run this software in DOSBox-X.

Since I do not have a copy of this software, I have not been able to test it myself. Could @Mikaka27 please describe in details any issue that may have occurred in DOSBox-X? Thanks!

P.S. Information for printing support in DOSBox-X can be found in this Wiki page:

Please don't close the issue yet, I'm little short on time to take care of it right now. I will get to it :)
