Hello,
I've loaded Dosbox 0.74 to run my foxpro invoicing program from Win 7 (64 bit) and it runs great (thank god), I just have to do a few steps from the Dosbox icon. If I can change the autoexec.bat to just execute my program that would be perfect, but I'm not exactly sure how to change it, I've read various ways to change it on 0.63 but it seems 0.74 is different, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time

you only need to edit the [autoexec] section in the dosbox config file. I'd be very interested to hear how 0.74 differs from 0.63 in that respect....

But how do you change the autoexec.bat, it's like a virtual directory in Z and it does not let you change the autoexec.bat at all

Thanks

I don't see any message prior to mine addressing how to change & save the autoexec.bat.

Thanks
