This is official description
It is an x86 applications launcher that works in tandem with the outstanding DOSBox emulator.It is a convenient Explorer-like entries manager, where you can store inks for all of your often-used DOS programs. Forget about typing-in boring commands at the DOS-Prompt: All that you need to do is to add a record into DOSShell's database, and then you can enjoy the simplicity and speed of running your favorite old-games and software!
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.4
DOSShell 1.4 is an x86 application launcher that uses DOSBox emulator.
It allows you to enter DOS commands without typing it, by using an Explorer-like entries manager.
Since this application is a frontend for the DOSBox emulator, you´ll need to have it installed in order to use it. If you don´t have the emulator, you can download it from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net. (The site is temporarily unavailable, but still offers a working download link).
Then you will need to specify the folder path to DOSBox in the DOSShell GUI, by choosing Edit/Preferences in the menu.
After that, you´re ready to go.
Using this program, you can add new records into an applications list, edit properties of existing entries or delete unnecessarily entries.
To add a new entry to the list, you can click on the Green Plus Sign icon. Then you will be able to give a name to the entry, classify it into a group (or create a new one), specify the paths to the executable file and icon and enter a brief description.
The program will then show you a tabbed interface, with a tab for each group, and a list of programs that can be launched by double clicking on the entry. |
