Hi All,

I am having trouble getting an application to run in dosbox. When I hit enter after putting in the "cd" path correctly, it just stares at me.

It's a statistics shareware program called RVSP:

app download at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/services/software/dow … ?softwareid=129

Info, here:
http://www.ars.usda.gov/pandp/docs.htm?docid=10750

It doesn't run at all in XP, which is my operating system.

Appreciate any tips; I'm new to this. Need less to say, it's a DOS program from the early 90's.

Thanks,
Ned

I have downloaded the app. No problems for me with dosbox 0.72 cvs. I don't know about the official 0.72 version though.

Thanks guys. this is what I did:

I get through my mount, and directory structure all fine no error messages, and get to C:\......\RVSP.exe

I hit enter and nothing happens. Sorry I really am new to this, but as far as I can see I'm not missing a command or anything?

The other problem is it crashes when I try to do anything with it in XP, which is why I have been trying DOS box. I'd be interested if anyones got farther they try and do a dummy run with the input files given and see if it crashes in dos box or gives an output file with lots of numbers instead of just column titles.
