Mount a C-drive?

Look for a -freesize command in the README, too.

h-a-l-9000: yeah, I mounted a "c:" drive. The files off AutoCad are in C:\ACad10, so in DOSBOX I entered "mount c c:\", and go to directory c:\ACad10\acad.exe. It initialize de AutoCad10 Ok. But inside Autocad i had tryed to create a new project and get the message "Fatal Error: Disk (C:) Full".

eL_PuSHeR: I tryed the command "mount c c:\ -freesize 990", but still have the same error message of Full Disk.

Install the app within dosbox.

Doesn't AutoCad 10 require a dongle? Unless this is a cracked copy, how will DOSBox handle this?

Collector: I dont think that Acad requires a dongle. I used to execute Acad in my Win 3.11, in DOS enviroment and the unique requirement is to put acad.pwd into the folder of acad.

wd: if y try to xecute acad.exe in my WinXP it will open the "DOS" window and will abort (auto close the window) if I try to begin a new draw.

So... in fact i dont know more what i have to do...

Maybe, if I Upload the files of Acad you can help me in a more easy way.

Install it in DOSBOX and nothing else if you want to run it there.

Wd: I think that I didnt understand you. Install it in DOSBOX was what i did. And when i tryed to open a new Draw i get the message " Fatal Error: Disk (C: ) Full". That´s the reason of my topic...

Did you try to install in your machine and create a new Draw?

ps.: I think that its not necessary to install Acad. You have just to run the "acad.exe".

Install it in DOSBOX was what i did.

Please be precise and post all the mountings and commands you entered in Dosbox.

ps.: I think that its not necessary to install Acad. You have just to run the "acad.exe".

Not necessarily. A lot of programs write the location of their files in config files or so. If those don't match with their location they might not work.

On what kind of data storage do you have Autocad 10? Try to install from the original floppy/Cd or whatever...

Dominus: The commands that i entered was already posted by me in this post, in my return to h-a-l-9000.

The Acad10 was orinaly in floopy disks, but nowadays is in my HD. I dont have de originals floopy disks...

I uploaded the Acad files in this topic, did anybody try to run a new draw in Autocad?

The commands that i entered was already posted by me in this post

No you didn't, you said "go to directory c:\ACad10\acad.exe" which is
plain nonsense, so as Dominus asked post the EXACT way you're doing things
from the beginning (mounting) to the running of the app.

I uploaded the Acad files in this topic

I removed them because uploading copyrighted software is a no-go.

wd: ok, lets go man! I inputted in DOSBOX:

z:\> mount c c:\ -freesize 990
z:\> cd c:\
c:\>cd acad10
c:\acad10>acad

and in the ed of that we are in the main menu of Acad. But when i try the create a new Draw, the message of error appears...

990meg sure is alot of space for 1987......

It's a bug in dosbox though 😀

I bet you are missing at least 1 command in that list.

Are we sure? 990MB is indeed a lot of free space, the app could easily freak and conclude there's not enough space. Kinda what some older DOS apps did when memory was over 64MB.

I am.

Ok, I trust you 😀. Mind to share what's the bug? Or is it just that you are confident it is one?

fcb write function has some rather strange side effects when used with zero as count.
