I know it’s silly why build DOSBox from Sourceforge with Visual C++ 2003.

Well there is some building-plant thing that uses an old wheezy MS-DOS app that doesn’t play very nice with it’s “awesome” EGA/VGA graphics, and I’m too old to care about debugging it, but DOSbox runs it just fine, and it can communicate out the serial ports just fine with it. KISS as they say.

Project is over on github:

Along with a binary release, as not having one generally makes me angry.

Sorry updates have been so crappy lately, I’ve been eaten alive at work. Although now being able to control the boilers and heating from my desk is a nice thing, so at least at work I won’t freeze to death.

Oh I should say I did try Citrix, but it crashed out NTVDM. Qemu didn’t render right, and well like I said I tried DOSBox and it worked fine.
