Question

I need to work in DOS, so I installed the 16 bit Vim (downloaded from vim.org) in a folder using DosBox. When I first open a file it lets me save the file using :w. I continue editing, and want to save again and it says it can't write the file!? How can I fix this? I am running Ubuntu. The file is in a folder with permissions:

drwxrwxrwx 7 metroxylon metroxylon 4096 Dec  7 12:30 src

Here are some screenshots: enter image description here

Solution

I asked for help in the #dosbox channel at freenode. User Qbix, told me it is a DOSBox bug which will be added to the bug list.
