I would recommend a frontend like D.O.G. or DBGL.

These are a kind of Windows on top of DOSBox.

If you want to know how to work with D.O.G., then there is a Video Walkthrough on it under the information section on the D.O.G. homepage.

Well a frontend is like a Windows on top of DOSBox.

On my homepage of D.O.G. you can download it. Extract to your desktop or anything and start DOG.exe. Then you're off.

D.O.G. isn't that hard to figure out, but if in need, there is a video walkthrough on the site under the Information section. It gives you instructions on how to install Carmageddon en how to configure it using only DOSBox and D.O.G. The instructions in this video are the basic ones.

Z should be easy to install.

Erik.
