I am not a DOS gamer, but I had some old DOS genealogy programs that I thought I would never be able to use again since I had to replace my laptop which was Windows XP Pro with a new laptop that came with Windows 7 64-bit.

I was able to drag and drop a DOS program that was a self-contained program with data into D-Fend Reloaded and it works. So thank you very much for making this program available.

I have another program that would created either an Ancestor or Descendant book from a genealogy database. While I am able to drag and drop this program to D-Fend Reloaded and get it to launch, I need to know how I can get it to read the genealogy database which was also created by another DOS program.

The program I am trying to get running is GenBook.exe http://www.foothill.net/~genbook/ which under Windows XP was installed in C:\GenBook as genbook.exe and read the database that was in C:\PAF\Data\Indiv2.dat

So my question is how do I get D-Fend Reloaded to run Genbook.exe (a DOS program) and have it find my DOS genealogy database. I get it to display the first 2 screens in execution, but then it returns that it cannot find the database in C:\PAF\Data\Indiv2.dat

Do I need to move my database to a different location?

If so, how do I specify where it is?

Thanks in advance for your help.
