I understand your arguments and already covered them a little... But you will never manage to make me think that the Readme.txt is too complicated. Even a 8 years old boy or girl could understand it.

I think one of the main problems is that people either don't read it or stop too fast while reading it, so I think we should "focus" on how the dosbox authors can make more people actually read/finish the readme. (or provide another way of documentation which is harder to miss. (like more intro commands))

The Startup message (blue box) can actually be changed by anybody. dosbox allows it's messages to be overriden by a language file. So we could create one that we think is better.

Dosbox only comes with a readme. The graphical guides are not present in the default instalation. (suggestion?)

We all know that some people are just too dumb, but that is fact and we can not change that. This thread is an attempt to make them use dosbox as well as it saves kosta and tom an email on how to use it.
