POS runs in Linux???

Post by Ryan J Fuller » Mon Jun 06, 2005 12:15 pm

I have copied a copy of DOS onto a copy of Linux and it appears to run POS!

Has anyone else tried this???

I have never tried with Linux here but I have received several reports stating the POS works fine with Linux if you run it through DOSEMU

It runs some of the less advanced features, but it dosent run APRINT, POLE.exe and any windows files, apart from posconfig, pos.exe and readme.txt.

Im doing a bit of testing to see what POS can do on other systems.

I dont really suppose anyone uses Linux anyway.

I believe yuop might've used either WINE or Dosbox. Very easy to set up and all....
