Hy,
dosbox is great but i have a small problem:
I copied the msdos-editor and some other dos-stuff from my old win98 cd to my dosgames-drive. They´re wokring, but i can´t create own commands in the Z:\ drive as .bat as link to them (-> copy failure). What can I do? Can I switch the Z:\drive to "writeable" or add a command-directory?

[sorry for my bad english]

The Z:\ drive doesn't actually exist. It's a virtual directory that DOSbox shows you.

You can put your .bat files somewhere on your local hard drive and mount the directory they're in in DOSbox...

There is a beautiful readme file in DOSBox directory. Read it.

We have some noobs guides here, too. 😒

i know how to mount a drive. i want to make a .bat which i can start from everywhere in dosbox like the commands in C:\windows\command\ at windows98 or Z:\ at dosbox. there is nothing about this in the readme.

Add the path to the folder into PATH variable (read normal DOS documentation - it is a standard DOS/WINDOWS functionality).

SET PATH=<path1>;<path2>;<path3>
