I started an DOS genealogy program on my MAC in DosBox and it works fine.
However, I like to back-up my changes in that program and use the DOS expression xcopy *.* c:\xxx\#\*.*
The exact expression works fine under the same conditions on my old Windows computer.
I think the access from the running program to an other directory causes the problem, or..?

What am doing wrong?

DOSBox doesn't have an XCOPY command. See if FreeDOS has the utlity.

FreeDOS definitely has an xcopy utility.

If you're not using a disk image for your DOS files, you can use the native file browsing system on your Mac to copy the folder as well.
