NewViews (nv.exe) fails to open files with Error 255 #2176

Describe the bug I am trying to use dosbox-x (0.83.9) on macOS Catalina and Big Sur for an old accounting program named NewViews. When I try to open accounting files, the NewViews app gives an error 255 and cannot open the books.

I thought it was just a general problem, but when I tried the same thing using regular DOSBox, it all works fine. I would prefer to use dosbos-x, particularly for the ease of use and printing functions.

I can send a copy of the app and a sample book to open, if anyone is interested in looking into this issue.

Thanks!
