Man, when I started reading your post I though you were being ironic, but after having read it I leaned towards thinking that you're lazy! LOL Please dispel my uncertainty.

You didn't quote anything so I don't know which one you were talking about here. If you're talking about me when I said:

You know, what I'm waiting for is a system that will take a zipped archive, mount it, load it, and run the relevent executable all in one so that DOS games can be as easy to run as a console emulated system. I know that's not exactly realistic at the moment, but still would be cool.[/b]
...no I wasn't being ironic or funny. I really think that would be cool. I'm thinking of people who never used DOS but would still like to play the cool games of yester-year. You know, like our kids one day. (Personally, my kids are still to young but one day...)

Infact, cooler still would be a system that would wrap a DOS archive into a single XP compatible executable (and datafile) and take all the work away from newbies. Esentally all you'd have to do is double-click and play. Either that or make a DOSBox executable package that was a DOSBox executable set up to load and run a game that you just drop into the directory and go. Actually, that might be possible. I'd have to look into it.
