Hab mir grad mal spaßeshalber das Programm "D-Info 3.0" unter Windows 3.1 installiert. Ja, genau so, wie das hier grafisch dargestellt wird, hab ich mir das Datei-Packen immer vorgestellt! LOL! 😉

Tonight, I'm just sorting through my latest retro downloads... mostly stuff I found on the Internet Archive.

And... "Holy cow!" This must be the earliest version of "Microsoft Office" I've ever seen! "WIN OFFICE 1.00". Everything's on 5.25inch disks and it doesn't even have a combined SETUP.EXE yet. You just pick what you want and then you're being thrown into a full-screen DOS session to go through the setup process. It features "Word 1.1", "Excel 2.0d" and "PowerPoint 2.00". This is fun!.. albeit in a strange way.

Starting to backup the #486 to the #gotek.. The machine came with a well used #dos and #win3x installation, but in Finnish. Will reformat it with a fresh install after I have all the interesting files and games copied off.

Quite painful taking it off a disk at a time though 😅

DOSBox Staging @[email protected] · 2023-07-13 · 07:51 UTC

DOSBox Staging Basics
Today: Windows 3.1 seamless mouse integration

It is possible since DOSBox Staging v0.79 to have a seamless mouse integration using one of the following 3rd party VMware-compatible Windows 3.1 mouse drivers:

* VBADOS by javispedro — this one requires a corresponding DOS mouse driver to be started; this driver also provides seamless mouse integration for a real DOS if booted inside DOSBox Staging

* vmwmouse by NattyNarwhal — does not require any specific DOS driver and has experimental support for mouse wheel, but current version 0.1 has stability problems

For now, only the mouse is supported (no VMware directory sharing, etc.), only using VMware protocol (no VirtualBox-only drivers). Windows 9x VMware mouse driver is not supported.
