Introduction

DOSBox Pure (abbreviated as DBP) is a RetroArch core for running DOS games.

Key features of DBP compared to other versions of DOSBox include:

• All settings are accessible through RetroArch's graphical interface
• DBP works on platforms where standard DOSBox is unavailable (e.g., mobile devices or gaming consoles)
• Games can be launched directly from archives
• Disk image and game archive management through RetroArch's interface
• Hardware-accelerated 3D graphics
• Save and load game states using RetroArch's tools
• Support for multiplayer over local network or the internet
• Game controller support
• Image scaling and shaders through RetroArch

In this guide, we will cover how to install DOSBox Pure and configure it to run DOS and Windows 3.x/9x games.

This guide is also available in other languages.

We'll start with installing RetroArch.

Installing RetroArch

RetroArch is a program for running various emulators. Emulators in RetroArch are called cores.

RetroArch is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox, and more.

You can download the RetroArch installer from the official downloads page.

Alternatively, it can be installed via Steam.

After installation and launch, you will see the following screen:

If you're running RetroArch on a computer, it’s worth learning about keyboard controls.

Keyboard Controls

The RetroArch interface was initially designed for gamepad use, but it can also be operated using a keyboard.

• Use the arrow keys ↑, ↓, ←, → to navigate through menu items.
  • To quickly scroll through long lists, use the left/right keys: ←, →.
• Press Enter to open a menu item.
• Press Backspace to go back.
• Open the in-game menu with the F1 key.
• Exit the program with the Esc key.
• Toggle fullscreen mode with the F key.
• Save the game state with F2 and load a saved state with F4 (see Save and Load).

You can customize these hotkeys in the Settings / Input / Hotkeys section.

Game Focus

Even if you don’t plan to customize hotkeys, you should definitely check which key is assigned to activate Game Focus mode and change it if needed.

When Game Focus mode is active, all key presses are passed directly to the emulator, not to RetroArch. This is essential for the proper functioning of many DOS games and applications that use keyboard input.

It's important to know how to activate and deactivate Game Focus mode.

You can configure RetroArch to automatically enable Game Focus mode for specific emulators that require it. To do this, go to Settings / Input and set Auto-Enable Game Focus to Detect.

The next step is to configure the system folders.

System Folders

RetroArch stores its data in several folders. Here are some that might be useful when working with DOSBox Pure:

System/BIOS

This folder contains system files. Place SoundFont files or ROM files for the Roland MT-32 here if you want to enable MIDI emulation. It also stores system disk images used by DBP for installing an operating system.

Configuration Files

This folder is where DBP saves its settings. It also stores game-specific configurations for DBP.

Save Files

This folder contains save data created by the games themselves.

If you run a game from an archive or disk image, archives with data written to the C: drive by the game will be created here. See also Save and Load.

Additionally, files with changes made to the C: drive will be saved here for an installed operating system if you use the Save Difference Per Content mode.

Save States

This folder stores game states saved through the RetroArch Save / Load State feature.

Cores

This folder contains emulator cores used by RetroArch (see Installing DOSBox Pure).

Video Shaders

A folder for additional shaders to enhance graphics.

File Browser

This folder is the default location RetroArch will open when you select Load Content. You can place game archives here.

The exact location of these folders depends on your device, operating system, and how RetroArch was installed.
You can check their locations under the Settings / Directory section, where you can also change their paths.

Once you’re familiar with system folders, you can proceed to configuring graphics in RetroArch.

Video Settings in RetroArch

Video settings in RetroArch can be found under the Settings / Video section.

Here are some settings that may be helpful when using DOSBox Pure:

• Scaling
  • Integer Scaling — It’s best to set this to ON to ensure sharp, clean pixels.
  • Aspect Ratio — Select Core Provided. This allows DBP to use the aspect ratio most suitable for the game being run.
• Fullscreen Mode
  • Start in Fullscreen Mode — Enabling this will make RetroArch start in fullscreen mode by default.
• Windowed Mode
  • Windowed Scale — Specify the scaling factor for windowed mode.
  • Maximum Window Width / Height — Set the maximum window size. When auto-scaling is used, the window will not exceed these dimensions.

Note on Scaling

The scaling settings in RetroArch (Windowed Scale) work together with the 3D scaling settings in DOSBox Pure. For example, if you set scaling to 2x in RetroArch and 3x in DOSBox Pure, the image will ultimately be scaled by 6x — DOSBox renders the 3D scene at a higher resolution, and RetroArch further scales the resulting image.

This concludes the overview of RetroArch settings. Next, proceed to installing DOSBox Pure.

Installing DOSBox Pure

The easiest way to install DOSBox Pure is through the built-in core downloader in RetroArch. To do this:

1. Open the Main Menu in RetroArch.
2. Navigate to the Online Updater section.
3. Select Core Downloader.
4. Find DOSBox Pure in the list and press Enter to install it.

This will install the latest stable version of DOSBox Pure available in the RetroArch repository.

In some cases, you may need to install a different core build, such as a test version from the developer.

To do this:

1. Obtain a precompiled core file or build it yourself from source.
2. Place the core file in the Cores folder (see System Folders).
3. The file should be named dosbox_pure_libretro., with the extension depending on your operating system:
   • dll for Windows
   • so for Linux
   • dylib for macOS

After this, DOSBox Pure will be available in the list of cores in RetroArch, and you can proceed to its configuration.

DOSBox Pure Settings

You can access the DBP settings menu in two ways:

1. At any time during gameplay.
2. By starting the DBP core without a game (from the RetroArch main menu, select Load Core → DOSBox Pure → Start Core).

In both cases, you first need to open the RetroArch in-game menu (Quick Menu) by pressing F1 on your keyboard (make sure to disable Game Focus if it’s enabled). Then, select the Core Options section.

Let’s take a closer look at all the available settings:

• Emulation Settings
• Input Settings
• Performance Settings
• Video Settings
• System Settings
• Audio Settings

Emulation Settings

The Core Options → Emulation menu contains general settings related to emulation.

Force 60FPS Output

Forces output at 60 frames per second. Enable this if you encounter issues with vertical synchronization.

Show Performance Statistics

Displays performance statistics at the top of the screen. There are two modes: simple and detailed.

Save States Support

Enables support for saving and loading game states, as well as the rewind feature. See the chapter on Saving and Loading for more details.

Loading of dosbox.conf

Automatically loads a dosbox.conf settings file when starting a game. Two options are available: load the dosbox.conf file from the game's folder or archive, or load a .conf file with the same name as the game. Disabled by default.

Start Menu

Allows you to configure when the DOSBox Pure start menu is displayed. By default, it is shown at core startup (before launching a game) and after exiting a game.

Input Settings

The Core Options → Input menu contains settings related to input devices.

Enable On Screen Keyboard

Allows the use of an on-screen keyboard for text input in games. The keyboard is activated by pressing L3 (left stick) on the gamepad.

Mouse Input Mode

Defines the mouse input mode. This can be useful if you're using a device with a touchpad.

Bind Mouse Wheel to Key

Enables you to map mouse wheel actions to specific key presses. For example, you can configure it so that scrolling the mouse wheel up or down triggers the Page Up or Page Down keys.

Mouse Sensitivity

Adjusts mouse sensitivity. Lower the value if the mouse moves too quickly.

Automatic Game Pad Mappings

Enables automatic gamepad configuration for certain games. See the chapter on Gamepad Controls for more details.

Performance Settings

The Core Options → Performance menu contains settings related to game performance. These options can be useful if a game runs too slow or too fast.

Emulated Performance

This option allows you to select the speed of the emulated computer. You can choose from predefined options or use one of the special modes.

AUTO

In this mode, the emulator will automatically adjust its speed to match the requirements of the running game.

MAX

The highest possible emulation speed. The actual speed will depend on your CPU’s single-threaded performance.

Maximum Emulated Performance

Sets an upper limit on emulation speed, used in both AUTO and MAX modes.

Limit CPU Usage

Limits the CPU load imposed by the emulator. This is useful if the emulator is putting too much strain on your system.

Video Settings

Emulated Graphics Chip

Allows you to select the graphics mode to use. By default, the most advanced mode, SVGA, is used. However, some older games may require switching to modes such as CGA or EGA. Other supported modes include Hercules, Tandy, and PCjr.

SVGA Mode

Specifies the graphics card emulated for SVGA mode. By default, the S3 Trio64 is selected, which works well for most games.

SVGA Memory Size

Defines the amount of video memory available to the emulated graphics card.

3dfx Voodoo Emulation

Enables emulation of the 3dfx Voodoo accelerator and allows setting its video memory size.

3dfx Voodoo Performance

Configures the performance mode of the 3dfx Voodoo accelerator. By default, the Software Multi Threaded mode is used, where emulation is handled by the CPU across multiple threads.

Depending on your version of DOSBox Pure, the Hardware OpenGL mode may also be available. This mode uses your primary GPU for 3D emulation, significantly improving 3D graphics performance, enhancing rendering quality, and unlocking additional features.

3dfx Voodoo OpenGL Scaling

Controls 3D graphics scaling when using the Hardware OpenGL mode. Works in conjunction with scaling options set in RetroArch.

Example: If the game resolution is set to 640x480, the Hardware OpenGL scaling is set to 2x, and RetroArch's scaling is also set to 2x, the 3D scene will be rendered at 1280x960 resolution and then upscaled to 2560x1920.

3dfx Voodoo Gamma Correction

Adjusts the brightness of 3D graphics when using the Hardware OpenGL mode.

Aspect Ratio Correction

Corrects the aspect ratio to maintain a 4:3 proportion, mimicking the display proportions of older CRT monitors. Enabling this is recommended for preserving the original visual experience.

Overscan Border Size

Adds a border around the edges of the screen. Some games use the border to display additional information with colored edges.

System Settings

Memory Size

Specifies the amount of RAM for the emulated computer. The default value is 16 MB, which is suitable for most games. Some games may require increasing the memory size.

CPU Type

Defines the type of emulated processor, which determines the instruction set available to programs. The default setting is Auto, which aims to provide maximum compatibility and performance.

CPU Core

Specifies the CPU emulation mode used by DOSBox Pure. It is recommended to select Auto, which dynamically chooses the best mode for maximum compatibility and performance depending on the game being run.

OS Disk Modifications

Controls how changes to the system drive C: are saved for an installed operating system.

This setting can be adjusted even after the operating system has been installed.

Available options:

Keep

All changes are saved to the disk image file.

Discard

All changes are lost upon restarting the system.

Save Difference Per Content

A separate file is created for each game run through the installed operating system, storing all changes made to the C: drive. This allows you to maintain a shared base disk image of the installed system while creating unique change files for each game.

These change files are saved in the Save Files folder.

Free Space in D: in OS

Defines the amount of free space available on drive D: in the operating system mode. The default is 1 GB. See also Saving Data in the OS.

Force Normal Core in OS

If the emulator crashes or experiences glitches in OS mode, you can enable this setting to force the use of the Normal CPU emulation mode when running the operating system.

Audio Settings

Audio Sample Rate

Specifies the audio sampling rate. It is best to leave it at the default value of 48000.

SoundBlaster Settings

Configures SoundBlaster parameters: Port, IRQ, and DMA. The default values are sufficient for most cases, but you can customize them if needed. Make sure to remember these settings as they may be required when configuring sound in games.

MIDI Output

Configures MIDI output.

OFF

Disables MIDI output.

Frontend MIDI Driver

Uses the MIDI device selected in RetroArch settings.

SoundFont

Uses a SoundFont file for MIDI playback. SoundFont files must have a .sf2 extension and be placed in the System/BIOS folder, after which they will appear in this menu.

You can download SoundFont files, for example, from here.

Roland MT-32

Uses Roland MT-32 emulation for MIDI playback. You must place MT-32 ROM files in the System/BIOS folder.

You will need the files MT32_CONTROL.ROM and MT32_PCM.ROM, which can be found online.

SoundBlaster Type

Specifies the type of emulated SoundBlaster card, such as SoundBlaster 16 or SoundBlaster Pro.

SoundBlaster Adlib/FM Mode

Defines the emulation mode for [AdLib](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_Lib,Inc.#AdLib_Gold_1000(1992) or FM synthesis. This determines the type of OPL chip being emulated.

When set to Auto, the mode is chosen automatically based on the selected SoundBlaster type.

SoundBlaster Adlib Provider

Selects the AdLib/FM synthesis emulator to use: the default emulator or Nuked OPL3.

Enable Gravis Ultrasound

Enables emulation of the Gravis Ultrasound sound card.

Gravis Ultrasound parameters:

• Port: 0x240
• IRQ: 5
• DMA: 3

Enable Tandy Sound Device

Enables emulation of the Tandy sound card.

Swap Stereo Channels

Swaps the left and right audio channels.

Game Images / Game Archives

To run games with DBP, you'll need the games themselves. Game archives are typically found in one of the following formats:

• A copy of an installed game: this is a folder with a pre-installed game copied from the C: drive.
• A copy of files from the installation disk: this is also a folder containing files, typically including one named something like install or setup.
• Floppy disk images: these usually have extensions like .img, .ima, or .dsk.
• CD-ROM images: these usually come as a single .iso file or as a pair of .cue and .bin files.

Whatever form the game takes, it can (but doesn’t have to) be packed into a .zip archive before being run through DBP.

DOS games typically consist of many files, and packing them into a single archive creates an equivalent of a ROM file used in console emulators.

Depending on the files in the archive, DBP will handle them differently:

1. Regular files and folders will be mounted as the C: drive in the emulated system.
2. Floppy disk images will be mounted as floppies in the A: drive.
3. CD-ROM images will be mounted as CDs in the D: drive. See also Disc-based Games.

An archive can include all these types of files, and DBP will automatically determine how to mount them.

It’s best to organize all game archives in a folder that will open by default when selecting the Load Content option in RetroArch (see the section on System Folders).

Running Games

To run a game in DOSBox Pure, follow these steps:

1. Open the Load Content menu in RetroArch.
   

2. Locate and select the archive containing the game, then choose Load Archive.
   
   

3. If you have multiple cores installed, select the DOSBox Pure core.

You should then see the main DBP menu, which looks like this:

At the top, you can see the EJECT ….cue option. This indicates that a .cue disk image was included in the archive and has been automatically mounted.

Below that, you can see a list of files and folders located on the C: drive. These are the files and folders from the archive that has been loaded.

Use the ↑ and ↓ keys to navigate the menu, and press Enter to select an item.

At the bottom of the list, you can see executable files from the D: drive, which corresponds to the mounted disk image from the archive.

Installing and Configuring Games

If your game version requires installation or configuration, you will see a file with a name like install or setup in this list.
In such cases, it’s recommended to run this file first to complete the installation or setup process before launching the game’s main executable.
The installation process can vary depending on the game.

To run the game, identify the main executable file, typically named after the game itself, and launch it by pressing Enter.

Save and Load

When running games through DBP, there are two ways to save and load your progress:

1. Use the standard Save/Load State feature available in RetroArch.
2. Save your progress using the game's built-in save system, where DOSBox Pure will save all changes made to the C: drive.

It is strongly discouraged to combine these two methods. Let's look at each method in detail.

Saving and Loading Game State with Save/Load State

This is a standard RetroArch feature that allows you to save the current state of the game and load it later.
It works not only with DOSBox Pure but also with other emulators.

You have access to multiple save slots, which can be switched in the Quick Menu by pressing F1, then selecting Save States → State Slot.

In the same Save States menu, you will find the Save State and Load State options to save the current game state and load a saved state.

You can also assign hotkeys for these actions in the Input settings (see Keyboard Controls).

By default, F2 and F4 are used for saving and loading states.

Saving Changes to the C: Drive

Most DOS games have their own save systems that write progress to the C: drive.

If you launched the game from a .zip archive or a disk image, all changes for that game will be saved in a separate archive located in the Save Files folder.
The name of this archive will match the name of the game archive exactly.

If needed, you can open this save archive to inspect the files written to the C: drive.

Keep in mind that all changes written to the C: drive after starting the DOSBox Pure core are saved in this archive. This includes not only game saves but also any other files the game writes, such as configuration files, logs, etc.

Autostart

The autostart feature allows you to automatically launch a selected executable file when opening a game in DOSBox Pure.

With this feature enabled, you won't see the standard DBP menu and will be taken straight into the game.

To enable autostart for a specific game:

1. Launch the game. The standard DBP menu will open.
2. Move the cursor to the desired executable file.
3. Press the → (right arrow) key on your keyboard. Pressing the ← (left arrow) key will disable autostart for the selected file.
4. The selected file will be marked with SET AUTO START.

Disabling Autostart

To disable autostart for a game:

1. Launch the game.
2. Open the Quick Menu by pressing F1.
3. Select Restart Content while holding the Shift key on your keyboard.
4. This will open the DBP menu, where you can disable autostart for the selected file.

Per-Game Settings

When you configure the DOSBox Pure core, such as adjusting cycle counts or selecting a video mode, these settings apply to all games by default.

However, you can save settings for each game individually.

To do this, open the Quick Menu during gameplay (F1), go to Core Options → Manage Core Options.

Here, you can see which configuration file is currently being used for the game. By default, this is the DOSBox-pure.opt file.

To save settings for the current game, select Save Game Options. The current settings will then be saved in a file named after the game (e.g., Duke3D.opt) in the Configuration Files folder.

To delete the settings for the current game, choose Remove Game Options.

You can also save settings for an entire folder of games. This is useful if you’ve organized your games into folders corresponding to different computer generations (e.g., 8088, 286, 386, etc.). To do this, use the Save Content Directory Options option.

Disc-Based Games

DOSBox Pure supports running games from CD images in .iso or .bin/.cue formats.

To run a disc-based game, simply select the disc image via the Load Content menu.

If the disc image is successfully mounted, you’ll see a message at the top of the DBP menu, such as EJECT IMAGE_NAME.cue. Below this, you’ll find the files from the image, accessible via the D: drive.

In most cases, disc-based games need to be installed onto the C: drive first. See Running Games for details.

Multi-Disc Games

DOSBox Pure can mount only one disc image at a time. If a game requires multiple discs, you’ll need to switch discs manually as needed.

It is highly recommended to store all disc images for a game in a single .zip archive. The following instructions assume this setup.

To switch discs:

1. Open the Quick Menu (F1).
2. Select Disk Control.
3. Select Eject Disk to eject the current disc.
4. Select Current Disk Index.
5. You’ll see a list of images from the archive. Choose the desired disc image.
6. Select Insert Disk.

Floppy Disk Games

Games on floppy disk images (files with extensions .img, .ima, .dsk) are mounted in DOSBox Pure as floppies inserted into the A: drive. You can interact with them just like CD images.

       6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
          may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
          are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
          with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
          the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
          provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).

  b. Other rights.

       1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
          licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
          privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
          the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
          assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
          extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
          Rights, but not otherwise.

       2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
          Public License.

       3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
          collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
          Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
          under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
          licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
          reserves any right to collect such royalties, including when
          the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial
          purposes.


Section 3 -- License Conditions.

Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
following conditions.

  a. Attribution.

       1. If You Share the Licensed Material, You must:

            a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
               with the Licensed Material:

                 i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
                    Material and any others designated to receive
                    attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
                    the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
                    designated);

                ii. a copyright notice;

               iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;

                iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
                    warranties;

                 v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
                    extent reasonably practicable;

            b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
               retain an indication of any previous modifications; and

            c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
               Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
               hyperlink to, this Public License.

          For the avoidance of doubt, You do not have permission under
          this Public License to Share Adapted Material.

       2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
          reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
          which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
          reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
          hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
          information.

       3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
          information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
          reasonably practicable.


Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.

Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:

  a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
     to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
     portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes
     only and provided You do not Share Adapted Material;

  b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
     contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
     Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
     Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and

  c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
     all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.


Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

  a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
     EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
     AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
     ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
     IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
     WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
     PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
     ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
     KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
     ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
     TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
     NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
     INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
     COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
     USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
     DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
     IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
     above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
     possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
     waiver of all liability.


Section 6 -- Term and Termination.

  a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
     Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
     this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
     terminate automatically.

  b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
     Section 6(a), it reinstates:

       1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
          it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
          violation; or

       2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.

     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
     right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
     of this Public License.

  c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
     Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
     distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
     will not terminate this Public License.

  d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
     License.


Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.

  a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
     terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.

  b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
     Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
     independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.


Section 8 -- Interpretation.

  a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
     shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
     conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
     be made without permission under this Public License.

  b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
     deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
     minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
     cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
     without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
     conditions.

  c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
     failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
     Licensor.

  d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
     as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
     that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
     processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
