When assigning the printer port there is a LIST option and an AUX in addition to the usual LPT1-3 and COM 1-2, and another separate option to define a "redirection device (or file)" although it isn't clear which port this refers to.Īs a test I assigned the default printer to LIST and the Alt printer top AUX, and defined the "redirection device (or file)" to "LPT4" However, it is possible to select a default printer with an assigned port, and an alternate port if any other printer is selected. It's a bit confusing in WS4 - there is no print to file option at print time. Any questions specifically related to this build should be sent to me, not to Jos Schaars. This uses the May 2018 version of vDos, specifically the custom vDos build used in my vDosWP system for running WordPerfect. If you hold down the Option key for a few seconds while starting vDosMac, a menu of options will appear, including an option to switch to full-screen mode instead of running inside a window.ĭOSBox has a native OS X version that works very well, but DOSBox does not have the built-in printing features that are in this system. You can print to LPT1, and vDos will try to print the output to your default OS X printer. Other drive letters in vDos are listed and explained when vDos starts. When you first run vDosMac will create folder named vDosDisk in your home folder. Wineskin uses 32-bit software, so this application will run under current macOS versions and under the next version, macOS Mojave, but it will not run under the version of macOS that Apple will release in the autumn of 2019 (that's 2019, not the current year, 2018). You will probably see a message saying that the program is not optimized for your Mac. This is the effect of a new Apple security setting. If you see an error message with the string "translocation" in it, that means simply that you need to move the application into another folder (and then, if you want, move it back again, or anywhere else). After doing this once, you won't be prompted again. To run it, right-click on the vDosMac application and choose Open. Then macOS will probably tell you that the executable inside is damaged and should be sent to trash.

Instead, right-click on the ZIP file and choose Open in order to open the archive. It is not damaged, and you will only waste your time by sending it to the trash.

To run vDosMac, download the ZIP archive:ĭepending on your security settings, macOS will probably tell you that the ZIP file is damaged and should be sent to the trash. However, it is possible to run vDos in a Wineskin "wrapper" on a Mac, and it works reasonably well. VDos is tightly integrated with Windows, so there will never be a "native" macOS version of vDos.
