Arev on Vista via Dosbox (AREV Specific)

I know that the "official" position of RevSoft is that Arev will not be supported on Vista. Has anyone attempted to run Arev on Vista via a 3rd party utility like Dosbox? It used to work pretty well on XP.

Why not take a look at Arev32? It's working very well…

The Eval has Arev32 in it- you might want to give it a try…

Will do.. but again, it's not up to me.. I'd have had them on OI a long time ago.

Is there a place on this website where AREV32 is listed / described?
Can it be added to the "Products" section?

Arev32 is included in OI and is not s separate product. Click on the ARev32 link in the OpenInsight entry on the products page:

FWIW
I just ran my old AREV application under DOSBox on Vista and the WHO command reported EMS active…
I didn't extensively test it; but it all seemed to work OK.

Sweet.. Did you need to fiddle with EMM386 or anything?

I just installed DosBox and ran my Arev application underneath it.

Have installed dosbox, tried manual running:
mount c c:\arev31
C:
arev
1.
I get "unable to mount boot media map"
2.
What is the best way to setup as a shortcut if arev is the only dos app
PS:
The reason I am trying this, is that Arev appeared to run OK under VISTA with EMSMagic, but when I printed to laser, the control codes for pitch were ignored.
Is this a known problem
Is this still a problem under DosBox

Sounds like it is running the exe, rather than a batch file that loads a necessary TSR for certain arev/network product combos.

You run applications via a conf file.
Edit the file pointed to by the desktop shortcut that is installed by default. (C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.conf)
Just add the DOS commands you need at the end of this file, to run the batch by file Tactic.bat in c:\tactic, you would add the following:
autoexec
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
Mount C C:\Tactic
C:
Tactic.bat
