Good Day!

Is it possible to change the default directory of DosBox from drive Z: to other drive letter? I need to mount my dos based dBase5 program to drive Z because the program is hard coded to access files in drive Z

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you'd have to alter the DOSBox source code and recompile.

Wouldn't it be easier to alter your dBase 5 program? (Even if it's already compiled, if there's no fancy encryption it ought to be possible to search and replace for "Z" with a hex editor.)

Qbix made a patch for it awhile ago, but dunno how well it will work with recent source... might need some touch-up.

Remap "Z" to different letter
