I'm trying to install a DOS program to a Mac. Can anyone correct the following:
1. Go to http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1, and download "Mac OS X", not "Windows"
2. The DOSBox-0.65b1.dmg is downloaded. What is dmg format? Is it like an EXE in Windows, where you just click and run?
3. Copy my Dos test.exe to Mac (not sure where).
4. After this DMG is run, I assume it installs the DosBox software.
5. Run DoxBox, then at the prompt, type config -writeconf ~/.dosboxrc
6. Scroll down to autoexec.bat section and type
mount c: "c:\Program Files\Test" (is this correct on Mac??)
c:
test.exe
exit
7. Exit out of Dosbox, and reload it

dmg is a diskimage.

step 5:

config -writeconf ~/Library/Preferences/DOSBox Preferences

step 6:
unlikely.
they have a different harddisk layout.
