Good suggestion! Please try the updated DOSBox-X build, now with both DOS commands (along with DISKCOPY, EDLIN, and PRINT commands):

Will these be in the next release (0.83.20) ? I doubt anyone cares about EDLIN, that was an awful program; it barely qualifies as an editor.

Also, shouldn't there be a FILES command since there are FCBS, BUFFERS, and LASTDRIVE commands to change those values.

Yes they will be in the next release. Regarding edlin, I recall encountering a DOS programs that used EDLIN as part of it's install/setup routine. Don't remember the name of the program tough.

Wengier commented 2 years ago

The EDLIN command is a standard DOS command in some DOS versions. Also, I agree there should be a FILES command if the other commands (FCBS etc) are there.

Wengier commented 2 years ago

DOSBox-X 0.83.20 is released with these commands available.
