Hello All,
I searched for the solution but found too many things with the word "date" in them.
I'm loading an old program, nothing sexy or interesting.
It loads just fine in DOSBox - amazing, after all these years - great job boys!!!
But, I need to set the date to work around the built in securiety we put in there back in 1995.
On an isolated box (old ass Toshiba running Win7), I can set the system date and move forward.
But, I'm trying to get some work done on my main box so I can't set the system time.
Here's the question:
- How can I set the date in DOSBox that won't affect the host system?
- Can I build this into a simple .bat file?
After loading DOSBox, I can't type c:\>date, it returns Illegal command: date. So, that's a problem I would guess.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Patrick
