It's not that straightforward to present adequate examples of DOS apps running in vDos. I can hardly publish one with actual/real data.
•
The 'webserver' (powered by Winflector) running vDos is a modest 64-bit Windows 11 laptop, and mostly asleep. Certainly no local PC: Startup and Exit take a few seconds. Screen updates can lag behind a bit, though they then always do with web applications.
•
The apps run live, so someone before you might have messed things up. The initial setup is only daily restored.
•
The window decorations are created by Winflector, and somewhat old fashioned (XP styled).
•
Web applications have a common handicap: Local printing. Didn't want to go into the trouble: You can’t print.
•
Initial: What you get installing vDos.
•
Alpha4: Relational database management system.
•
Clarion: IDE of this 4GL DBMS.
•
FiAd: Ancient accounting program of my own. Of little use w/o data, worse if you don’t speak Dutch…
•
FoxPro: Interactive FoxPro Demo program. Pretty awesome this was all done in FoxPro itself.
•
WP 6.2: WordPerfect with extended graphics mode.
Some YouTube video’s.
