DOS ain't dead

DOSBox-X 0.84.1 released! (Announce)

The DOS/DPMI64 version of Necromancer's Dos Navigator requires specific (high-end) CPU features and it won’t run in the HX-DOS version, but I have no problem of getting the DOS/DPMI32 version of Necromancer's Dos Navigator to run in it. For LFN support in NDN one can load DOSLFN beforehand and then start DOSBox-X with lfn=true, but apart from the minimum memory requirement of 12MB I have not found any issue so far that may prevent the DOS/DPMI32 version of Necromancer's Dos Navigator from working on it. So it is indeed pretty strange to hear that it may not work on your end.
