      That's correct. And documented. And kind of obvious because that would mean to implement a complete processor emulation in 16 bit real mode.

    So why pc-basic if dosbox+gwbasic is better ?

     
    • Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch

      That depends on the definition of ”better”. Some things not possible with Dosbox+GW-BASIC: With PC-BASIC you can

      • run Basic programs given on the command line as .bas files or BASIC statements given directly on the command line,
      • copy and paste text via mouse and clipboard between PC-BASIC and other programs,
      • redirect input and output from the shell, so you can write BASIC programs that behave like command line programs on your operating system and not like a program on a another simulated computer.

      PC-BASIC can be extended in Python or can be embedded in Python programs.
