WHat's that? I can run Diggers without Dosbox but when I try to run it in dosbox it says MSCDEX not found, what's the big deal? I also checked the games secttion of dosbox website and diggers isn't there...

Did you mount a CD ROM? In order for MSCDEX to be available you must mount a CD ... (even if you use some rip which does not need CD - try to mount any CD with -t cdrom).
This is a general advice, I do not have the game.

I downloaded diggers from www.the-underdogs.org
can you please download it and try it yourself so you can tell me how to do it. I think the zip file from the underdogs contains all files from the diggers cd rom.
As I wrote above: you MUST mount something as CD ROM to have MSCDEX available.. E.g. I used this:
mount c d:\dosbox
mount d d:\dosbox -t cdrom
D:\dosbox is my directory with DOS games. You could probably mount directly "diggers" directory, but I do not like games in C:\.
I tested it, it works (using CVS build, but I guess that 0.61 will be ok as well).

I did this :
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c c:\games\diggers
mount d d:\games\diggers -t cdrom
c:
game
game is the game.exe.
What did you mean with d d:\dosbox\ ?
I only have diggers located on c:\games\diggers
Did you read this sentence in my previous message???
D:\dosbox is my directory with DOS games
In your case it is probably c:\games. I did not mount directly "diggers", because I do not want to have a game in the root of the mounted C: and some games also may have problems with being in a root directory.
Do the following (if you want to mount diggers directly):
mount c c:\games\diggers
mount d c:\games\diggers -t cdrom
You problem was in mounting probably non-existing directory:
D:\games\diggers
I think it was explained sufficently and it works (I tested it), therefore I close the thread. If you have still problems, then I can only tell you to try to reread and think about what I wrote in my three mails in this thread!
If you have other DOSBOX game problems, register and post to DOSBOX Games/Applications forum.
Another advice: Read README and DOSBOX Guides forum.
