Dear Guys,
I am new to this program. I read the readme about the z prompt. When I tried mount c d:\ I still got a z prompt. I'm running WinXP.
HOw do I get to a c prompt so I can change to appropriate game folder and executable?
Thanks,
Mike

Dear Sir,
typing c: after the z prompt does nothing. I typed intro, and typed c c:\dosprog and it says that directory does not exist. Sorry, but I need explicit instructions. I've tried mount and several things, but still get a z prompt.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

1. Execute DosBox.
2. At Z:\ prompt type
3. Mount c c:\
The first "C" is the virtual C:\ drive, the second "C:\" is your real C:\ drive.
4. Type in "C:"
The "C:" with a colon switches to the "C" drive.

Just typing "C c:\dosprog" does nothing because it's an improper DOS command.
