The previous downloads of Newport are now inaccessible - a little free space (30MB) that the provider of some years has recently ceased to support/provide. So I've uploaded copies to googledrive

DOSBox-Win31-Newport.zip

newport_stock_npt_date.htm

8.7MB zip filesize !!! (Under 21MB when extracted)

I'm running Debian Jessie KDE AMD64 (x86 64 bit Linux) at present, downloaded and extracted the zip file content to a folder (directory), installed DOSBox from the Debian repository (I used Synaptic to search for and install Dosbox) and then ran that DOSBox. Presented with the Z:\> dos prompt and issued commands to mount where the extracted files C sub directory was located, in my case something like

mount c /mnt/sda2/DOSBox-Win31-Newport/C
i.e. I had opted to extract the .zip file content to my /mnt/sda2 (the root level of my second hard disk partition)

and then ...
c:
within the dosbox window to change directory to that c:
and run
windows
to start Newport (i.e. run the windows.bat file)

Clicking in the dosbox window locks the mouse cursor into that dosbox window, using Ctrl-F10 which is supposed to release that captured mouse cursor caused a crash of the Newport session for me, repeating the process but running as root instead and it worked fine i.e. looks like its a issue if run as a 'user' under Debian/linux. i.e. in my case run dosbox using kdesu dosbox
