VDos est un programme Windows qui sert à exécuter correctement les applications DOS dans toutes les versions de Windows actuelles.
Les changements sont les suivants:
– vDos.exe is again smaller, with a (final?) speed boost for FoxProX based programs.
UMB (Upper Memory Block) support dropped.
– Support of external (non-Windows) code page definitions.
More comprehensive ASCII/Unicode conversions.
Support of UTF-8 encoded config.txt, autoexec.txt and batch files.
– Retrieving (pasting) text from the Windows Clipboard could in specific situations keep the Clipboard locked.
Finger tipping (touch screen) fix for some DOS programs.
Fix for DOS programs not keeping up with Windows key stuffers.
With NumLock off, Shift NumPad digit didn’t return correct ASCII value.
– Taskbar notification when vDos isn’t focused and goes idle (DOS program awaits input).
Updated FreeType library to version 2.11.0.
Set of alternative icons (file icons.icl) to eventually replace that of vDos.
Faster rendering (displaying) text, though that already was real fast.
More accurate rendering/positioning of external fonts.
DOS beep is Windows standard sound.
– Support of UNC paths in DOS API if those resolve to a drive letter reference in vDos.
Config.txt directive FPUAWARE = 0-3 (0 = None, 1 = Present + conditional rounding (default), 2 = Rounding off, 3 = Rounding on.
– Support of additional PCL print commands, and more accurate positioning.
Changed syntax of HORZ and VERT options. To be more intuitive (see Printing.pdf).
