Hello, sorry for my poor english first, i'm french 😉
dosbox 0.74
windows 7 64bit
Theire is my problem, i launch without problem my program (image 1)

But i need the program to save the data in another directory because it will be quiclky overload with lot of files.
In my program when i try to change the data directory it fail, invalid name or directory not found (image 2)

I want the program tu run from
F:\XRD\test.bat

and save in
F:\Data\

Is this possible ?

how i use cd command in that case ?

I know that dosbox was developped for gaming purpose, i used first for that myself, but i have some old program, and with windows xp ending i have no choice, i can deal with bugs for now. The time to develop a new program of our own.

For the cd command, i use this in dosbox or in my program ?
