It never really occurred to me that you'd <i>want</i> to be able to detect if something is running in DOSBox, since I figured that the point was to be as compatible as possible with MS-DOS.<p>I guess it makes sense to try it anyway. Now I'm wondering how I'd be able to detect something like Concurrent DOS or REAL/32 or REAL/NG.
