I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question. Sorry this doesn't have to do with games. I'm a molecular geneticist trying to run some old dos linkage programs on my Mac using dosbox. The authors of the programs state that the config.sys file in the root directory of the boot drive (I assume this is equivatent to dosbox.config) must contain the following two lines:
FILES = 20 (or some higher number, preferably 40)
DEVICE = ANSI.SYS
However, when I try to add these to dosbox.config and try to run dos box using the configuration file as outlined in the wiki, I get the following error messages for these lines,
Illegal command: FILES
Illegal command: DEVICE
Is there someway to add these commands or does dosbox just not support them, and I am screwed.
Thanks,
dennis
