Are you one who demands that others permanently seal the door when you
leave a room?

I still use DOS on a Win-64 machine:
http://www.dosbox.com/

My new favorite:
http://www.vdos.info/

It does everything I need most of the time. Unhappily, it doesn't
distinguish Ctrl-Break from Ctrl-C.

Anything that really needs Ctrl-Break to stop, won't stop; which means
making Windows force the window closed and losing any unsaved changes
to whatever was being done.

But it can use the Windows clipboard to copy/paste text to/from
Windows programs from/to the DOS screen. Very cool. If DOSBox can do
that, I am not aware of it.

So maybe we're not leaving the light on here for you, but you've found
at least two people who care.
