Mac Blu-ray Player 2.8.4.1197. I have a DOS accounting application that I run on several platforms. Under Windows XP I run it from the command prompt, and on Windows 7 and 8 I would like to run it from DosBox. However, the accounting application actually makes use of Winword. When it has generated a text file it may execute a command RUN winword.exe. This works fine when the accounting application is started from the command prompt (under XP).

But when it is started from DosBox, this error is displayed: [indent] This program cannot be run in DOS mode [/indent] I get the same result if (at the Dosbox prompt), I key in 'winword.exe'. By comparison, if I fire up the normal command prompt and key in the same command, Microsoft Word can be invoked. It seems that DosBox is rather more restrictive. Is there any way round this?
