Having been a long-term user of DOSBox, I recently stumbled upon vDos, and was pleasantly surprised (***NOT*** about the vdos.info wbsite, stupid box-model makes many pages only partially visible, "overflow:hidden" should be removed ASAP!) However, I have found some problems with that old stalwart of DOS, Vern Buerg's LIST. It does not allow screen mode-switch, i.e. go from 80x25 to 80x43/50, and the ViewArc function results in an "FV" not found, even when LIST and FV are in the same directory. Also the integration with 4DOS is less than optimal, I would prefer to be able to use my own (PC DOS 2000) command interpreter and tools. Also one of my most favourite DOS programs (a TSR) does not work, it gives me just a blue screen and, when running vDos frameless, there is no way other than the TaskManager to kill it. Greatest problem: No FPU support, and this really is a show-stopper!!!
