My guess was that the area your patch might apply to would be be largely the same in DOSBOX and vDOS, and not one of the places vDOS diverged significantly.

Okay. No surprise.

Thank you. I've copied it over vDOS.exe and I'm playing with it. Seems to work. Understood on time. If you get the chance to do more that's wonderful, but real life takes precedence.
