Hi, I have been trying to play an old game of mine, and have searched everywhere how to play it on my new computer. I now know that it is possible using DOSBox, but I don't know how. I did the following steps:
mount c C:\DYNAMIX
C:
cd AOE
Or something like that. But i don't know how to go on. There is a file that I can run without dosbox which starts the game, but it can only show the intro, because once you press any key, it shuts down. Anyway, I can't type the file in DOSBox, because i do not know the extension. The type of the file says 'MS-DOS Shortcut' or something like that...
Is there anybody who knows how to run Aces over Europe on XP, or how i can fix this problem? I have really searched everywhere, and I know DOSBox is the answer, so this is my only hope.

The executable is AOE.COM, the CD version uses AOECD.BAT. You can't use a pif file (MS-DOS Shortcut) in DOSBox or true DOS.
