Well, interaction might include short filenames, and the dosbox patches are
mostly about Z drive mapping (mostly unrelated here) and short filename
handling which differs between wine and dosbox. So I'd say there is still a
valid point here.
Does it work with current Wine and DOSBox?
What happens if you remove the bundled dosbox and edit the batch file to simply
run it without dosbox?
