How do I set the PATH variable in DosBox?

Is it posible to add a compiler (or any program for that matter) to the z: drive and add a deafult location to the PATH variable so everytime i start DosBox i can use it?

If you're looking at compiling in DosBox be warned that it is *very* slow compared to doing the same in VMware/Virtualbox/Xen etc. I've been doing some playing around with DJGPP and Allegro and found it about the speed of a fast 486 to compile C code.

well that is the speed dosbox is at. It is an emulator, not a virtualizer.

Lol, well i just put the cycles variable to "max" and that works well enough. I'm only doing command line apps (outputting text, that's all). VB might be too much for that.

Thanks for the hints guys! i'm gunna go check out the conf file.
