I found something like:

There are two lines added in the autoexec section of the dosbox options:
1. mount c c:\dosprogs\man_cats
2. c:\diagnose.exe

When dosbox starts with the above conf then there is a problem I described. But when I change the configuration into:
1. mount c c:\dosprogs
2. c:

and run the cd man_cats and run the diagnose then all is doing well.

So, the question is how can I make the first configuration up and running? Where is the problem? I need to run he application automatically via autoexec at startup.

I found the solution.

It is like a dosbox does not "support" nesting in mount command. To make it worked the proper command is:

mount c c:\dosprogs
c:
cd man_cats
diagnose.exe

All i up and running. Maybe someone will find it useful.

However thank you for the forum!

The solution is the right one, your diagnoses is wrong 😉
The problem is not the fault of Dosbox but that the program man_cats does not like to be run in the root of C:\
When you mount the program folder it becomes c in Dosbox and man_cat doesn't like this.

Hello,

You're right 😀.
