DOSBox has an internal setting of FILES=127.
I don't know about BUFFERS.
You can not change that, except if you download the source code for DOSBox, change the settings, and compile your own version.

Or boot a real MS-DOS inside DOSBox.

Hi minimax,

Thanks for the response. Do you per chance know where exactly to change that in the source?

Thanks,
Adam.

DOS_FILES
it is called

Hi guys,

I don't know C++ too well I'm afraid. Could you tell me exactly what I would need to change?

Also I'm using the guide from DOSBoxwiki http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Building_DOSBox_wi … _C_2008_Express I have added the directories for SDK from the guide. (I've attached a jpeg of the directories)

I did a quick search for the problem and found out that I should install Platform SDK. So I did but it still won't build 😖

Thanks,
Adam

Ok I found the drop down menu above the directory listing. It was staring me in the face after I posted 😜 I still haven't figured out what to change in DOS_FILES yet though.

255

Thanks man, I was being a noob and looking in DOS_FILES.cpp. I ran find in files and changed it in the #define. It still can't start the clipper database though 😒 Is there anything else I could try?

And the error message is ... ?

thought the clipper things needed some environment variable.

There is no error 😖 DOSBox just sits there. I execute planning.exe in the correct directory and it just leaves the cursor flashing. I'm running it in the right directory with the mounted drive in the same place as it would be on the dos machines. So it can see the data files. I dunno whats up with it 😒

Thanks,
Adam.

i've send you a pm.
