This can never be a correct path. DOS allows only 8 characters for name and 3 for extension. "UltimaUnderworld" has 16 characters. Remember, you are no longer in Windows!

You can access them in dosbox without having to rename your files, it works the same way long as the dos shell in Windows 9x, the ~1 extension.

First it removes any spaces in the name, it then displays the first six characters, followed by a ~1, ~2, ~3, etc. the ~2 would be the second file/folder to match, for instance if I had Hello World.src and Hello Wally.src in windows Xp, they would show as HELLOW~1.src and HELLOW~2.SRC in dos/Dosbox

Thanks for your answer.
Sorry, but I used the folder's name "UlitmaUnderworld" only in this post. In fact, I named all the folders with a short name (for faster typing in the box). For example, the real name of the folder I created for Ultima Underworld ws UW. The path was c:\>UW\UW.exe

Sorry to have been inaccurate on this matter. And thanks for the information, I was not aware of the limited length off words used in dos, anyway.

Allr right! Your answer hinted me to the solution, it was simple I have found it.

The path I used was, for example:
C:\>UW\UW.exe
when it should have been:
C:\>c:\UW\UW.exe

You probably guessed I am quite new at DOS.
Thanks a lot for your help
