[ale] DOSBox Printing



All:

An elderly client is REALLY unwilling to use a mouse, and is concerned 
that 20 year old DOS system will die.

DOSBox appears to run that precious mailing list program fine, but 
printing is not officially supported yet.  The unofficial MegaBuild 
version appears to be aimed at Windoze users, as several dll files are 
needed.

I'd imagined a Linux PC (with USB support!) that would automatically 
launch DOSbox which would launch the program, and the user could just 
get to work, but how to print???

FreeDOS would likely work, but if DOSBox could print to a file, couldn't 
some Linux program spot that new file and send it to the printer?

Thanks,
Tom
