[It's] A Thread for troubleshooting Boxer - Dosbox for Mac.

I kinda thought that was pretty self-explanatory... Maybe I wasn't clear?

I've put it here so that any who use Boxer for Mac, getting it through Abandonia, and don't contact Alun directly with troubleshooting (since they linked to it from us, through the programmes page) have somewhere to search and find, in the forums, and post their questions on it.

I / we can then either answer them ourselves or we can forward them onto Alun (Bestor - the designer of the App) to answer.
He's very pleased that we're linking to his neat programme, even if he doesn't cite us for games... His excuse is that he doesn't want to be seen as condoning what could be piracy.

But he has several other gaming links on his site to other places, so I don't really get that one. It doesn't wash with me, but I can't force him to put us as an affiliate, can I?

Not unless I get the thumb-screws and other hideously painful torture devices out... But I don't want to do that.

Like Dos says - maybe one day it'll be used by someone on a *%$$&^*%$£ Macintosh.
(Dos vs Mac = Dos wins, IMO, but Boxer is an excellent application - best one on Mac to play Dos games - and extends our grasp to the balls of Apple users. [moohoohahahahaaa, etc.])

I just thought it'd be a good idea to make a thread so that when you type "boxer problems/troubleshooting" into the search - you find it.

If you feel it has no purpose, Mr. Fiery, remove it. But I think it'd be prudent to keep it around.
Just in case.

I don't tend to do things that have no purpose very often, matey.
