hi there!
i try to mount my directory with my old games to my dos box so try to type following in dos box,i pronounce i try...:
mount c c:\old games
because,when i typed the \ it starts a new line and i cant put the old games bdirectory behind it so i come only this far:mount c c:\.then it just starts a new line.why is that so?and when i type C: it says my drive doesnt exist? but i installed it on c too

hoping for answers.
thanks!

You can use the forwardslash instead of backslash; they do exactly the same thing when used in path names. A throwback to MS ripping off Unix back in the day!
