I tested VBSF.EXE 0.54 on stock FreeDOS 1.3 and SvarDOS (uses an older FreeDOS kernel from 2016) and at first it seemed to work, but I found it not very stable. Trying to copy folders from DOS to the host led to errors about being unable to read the files from the source folder. Additionally, I noticed timestamps are not correct. Most (?) times the date and time of the point in time of copying will be shown. I also noticed on SvarDOS copied files will sometimes show up as type 'directory'. I'm unable to open these 'folder' with a text editor or change to them, but I could delete them with 'del filename'. > Or https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=105823 > > It also includes a int33 mouse driver with VBox integration. > (Note however that attempting to use it with FreeDOS' EDIT > results in freezing the VirtualBox UI, since EDIT seems to be spamming > the int33 hide/show cursor calls at very high frequency and the driver > just forwards them directly to the VirtualBox UI.

Either (text mode) programs didn't show a mouse cursor or the VM freezed hardly. Nevertheless I appreciate your work so far and hope you will continue. :-) Cheers, Robert -- BTTR Software https://www.bttr-software.de/ DOS ain't dead https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
