According to teh readme file you can use command lines with DosBox. For example, you could say:

dosbox c:\game\game.exe -c "MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom"

According to the readme file, the -c command is supposed to be executed before the .exe is. What is actually happening is that it mounts C as c:\game (which is fine) and then launches the game, then is mounts the cdrom drive. This is not fine as the game looks for the cdrom before it gets mounted and not finding it terminates.

"You can also add commands to be executed before the main program starts.
Or you can use them to start the program.
To add commands use the -c command line switch.

For example:

dosbox c:\atlantis\atlantis.exe -c "MOUNT D C:\SAVES"
This would mount c:\atlanis as c:\ and run atlantis.exe.
Before it does that it would first mount C:\SAVES as the D drive."

Has anyone else had this problem?

maybe it's broken. I remember vagulie something about it.....

We tend to use the configfile for commands to startup.

It will probably be fixed in the next version.
