Hurray! At last!! since I had been trying to solve this problem, because
before, I installed DosBox latest version of 0.6 and it didn't work with
MsDos signwriter (I do not understand!) and then I tried to install
older
version (dosbox 0.58) and it works with msdos signwriter!!

Dear SW List and Karl!
Thank you for informing us. I did not know that DOSBox version 0.58 was
an older version of DOSBox. That is important. It is too bad that the
newer 6.0 did not work for you. So everyone, be sure the follow my
instructions in this document:

> SignWriting PDF Library, Document 116
> http://www.SignWriting.org/library/pdf/pdf019.html

Document 116 gives you the correct link to download the right version
of DOSBox, to make SW DOS work on Windows XP...

Thanks for the info, Karl!
