I'm deeply sorry if you truly believe you'd be sneered at, Mel, honest. There are plenty of DOSBox help threads in Hints, and as long as a thread starter articulates what exactly their problem is, help is provided with no condescending comments or such.
Anyway, all we wanted to say (I think) is 1) that DOSBox isn't less user-friendly than the original DOS, and 2) that it's not fair to its creators to call it
overcomplicated, since implementing functional GUI is a lot of additional work (rather than minute's work that they were just too lazy to do). Nobody ever implied that the emulator should be instantly intuitive for everyone. I regret saying anything now.
