Dapplegrey is a frontend for the MacOS X DOSBox port (which you can get from the official DOSBox website) written in REALbasic.
Not only DOSBox, but DBGL or Boxer are also recognized as DOSBox binary source.

With Dapplegrey you can easily set options the DOSBox gives to you w/o having to enter them manually using the Terminal or have to edit the DOSBox config file. This file will be written before Dapplegrey tells DOSBox to start.

The name Dapplegrey comes from the german word Apfelschimmel which originally means a white horse, ambiguous with the meaning of a rotten apple.

DOSBox 0.73 introduces a new video card emulation, machine=vgaonly, which enables you to see the water color in 'Tony and friends in Kellogg's land'.

Get 'Tony and friends in Kellogg's land' from one of these locations:

In the canteen of their firm the colleagues are taking their lunch.
A foreign colleague asks his german one:
„What is Schimmel?"
The german colleague replies: "A white horse, we call it Schimmel."
The foreign asks back: „What does white horse in jam glass?"

Although Dapplegrey runs on a PowerPC G3 including successor model with MacOS 10.3 and above,
the current version of DOSBox is Universal Binary and requires a PowerPC G4 or successor model with MacOS X 10.4 or newer.

Supporting the PowerPC G3 by Dapplegrey enables you still to manage an older version of the DOSBox port (v0.65 and above) on your middle-ancient Mac. Compared to other Frontends, there is none DOSBox binary included with Dapplegrey.

Dapplegrey may be included in any CD-ROM shareware and freeware disks. Please keep the application and it's Readme files together in one archive file as shipped above.
