DOS ain't dead

mp3play under DOS with HX DOS experiment (Users)

I tried mp3play on another 486 MB with SB AWE64 where it runs under HX DOS without crashing but it seems win32 sound api emulation overhead is so high that I couldn't get smooth playback even on Am5x86 @160MHz. Still not sure if this is just prticular issue of my system or in general such CPU is too slow for smooth playback. If someone else wants to try mp3play 1.5 http://problemkaputt.de/mp3.htm under HX...
I also tried to install Win32S in Windows 3.11 but it seems doesn't support any win32 console app, no way...
