Hi and thanks for the help.
Neither method worked for me. I created a shortcut to DOSBox.exe and used the same command line as in my batch file which executed the game, but likewise ,even with the -exit flag, I was dumped to my cdrom prompt in DOSBox and not to Windows (I figure it is DOSBox and not command.com because my other partitions d:\, e:\, etc. 'do not exist' when I try to access them because they have not been mounted in DOSBox). The workaround suggested by Qbix would not start the game and just dropped back to Windows. The 'exit' line added to the 'Innocent Until Caught' batch file worked as it should, but the 'Jones in the Fast Lane' batch file seems to ignore it. Here is the Jones.bat file:
Y:
jones f:\games1\sierra\jones\resource.cfg
exit
and here is the IUC.bat file:
@rem INNOCENT until caught
@rem (c)1993 Divide By Zero
@
@echo off
if exist innocent.ini goto installed
set_iuc
:installed
innocent %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
exit
If you can think of any other way to return to Windows after exiting the game without having to type 'exit' at the prompt, let me know. It's not a big deal...I'm just glad to have the game working like it should! Thanks.
