hellos peoples i wanted to ask a question regarding how to get my game to start on DOS BOX, this is what i have typed so far.

z:\>mount c c:\dosprog
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\dosprog\

z:\>c:

c:\>dir/w (to open my directory)
Directory of C:\.
[.] [..] [DINO] DINOPA~1.ZIP
1 File(s) 1,676,725 Bytes.
3 Dir(s) 110,540,800 Bytes free.

C:\>DINO (finally i type this in and then press enter hoping ill open dinotycoon) so any ideas why it wont open? because on Vogons somebody said i need to consult the documentation of my game to find which file is needed to start the game up, now im wondering how do i know which file... or is this all correct?

thanks

Erm... dir doesn't change to a directory. It merely lists what there.
cd is used to change to the directory. And it is necessary to tell it what subdirectory you want. The command you'd need is something like "cd dino".
