settings in dosbox, surely you jest 
Once long ago I learned enough to use dosbox and set it up and have just copied dosbox folder from computer to computer since. the program seems to work great its only on exit that I get problem.
ok just installed 382 and same problem.
ok this is no big deal, thanks for your help.
you have wasted enough time on me. I will play with this and use 378 until I find problem. go enjoy life and thanks again for the ideas.

Well, since i am the only one who cares about VPA right now, i am curious why why did not work. Can you check which version is the first that did not close properly? May you send me your TRN, so that i can check it here? 378 - is quite long ago, since then i changed the memory management and a lot of other things, there has to be a loophole... so, no worries about my time...

yes it should be criminal that people choose the wrong dos client.
i am curious why why did not work.
I am glad to help discover problem, I have enjoyed using vpa for many many years and owe you for all the fun I have had.
first I think I will install latest version of dosbox and see if that helps. my dosbox version is probably only 20-30 years old.
I shall do as you suggest if update doesn't help.
Can you check which version is the first that did not close properly?
yes
May you send me your TRN, so that i can check it here?
this will be difficult since vpa won't make turn.

Sounds like I better start another pot of gun powder green tea.

sounds like you might be an old fart like me. I will try not to stress us in our search for knowledge. cu have some fun

Yes, I play only with VPA - here and at NU site... it's a perfect client!

See at https://sourceforge.net/projects/vpa/files/VPA/ for old versions, try V380, this was my major update after 5 years...
I still try to improve and keep it compatible.
greetings, I made it back , I thought for sure that when I installed 383 on new dosbox all problems would fade away But no, same problem. But I did find that when it crashes it does make a trn file. I tested it and it comes up green so I will work with it,
I didn't config dosbox It was playing fine until exit. when time I will investigate dosbox further. I don't see attachment button, you can help yourself to my rst or let me know how to send it. rst should be used from the north star 15 game. its the most advanced. I noticed that starting new games doesn't cause problem until games become larger and more complex. I will let you know if I have any new discoveries. mean while back to the real universe where ships need orders and results are not always good. but that is what makes it fun. I just tried v 380 , crashes but makes green turnfile. cu

Ok, maybe streu can help out, or send it via mail to sfplanets@gmx.de - i will trade it very confidential.
maybe because of a lot of complexity, i will check this. for sure a memory (leak) problem - and has to be fixed.
well after playing the game with 383 I am finding the game is crashing randomly in ten to fifteen minutes into gaming session, same message protection fault
when I try to restart dosbox with 383 it trys to restart but just ends up in endless cycle of start and immediate crash. if I copy 378 back in it will go to work like normal. Then I can copy 383 back in and it works until random crash. I believe that the game is saving data before it crashes which is the only good news cu have some fun
