That is good news.

I am a bit confused. Will development continue (including
incorporating your new sound system) or not?

My impression is that dosbox can run any program -- but only one
program at the time. You do not get a complete DOS system in which
you can switch between different programs. E.g. Fixed Disk
Organizer does not work. It is nor "for work" indeed.

Still, dosbox is an excellent program. It even runs those amazing
"demo scene" programs from the early 90's, like "Amnesia" (still
available from e.g. http://www.mindcandydvd.com/demos). For games,
dosbox is fine. And of course it is portable.
