ddrach: i'll tell you, before anyone else does it. The kind of stance that is showing in in your post(s) is not welcome on VOGONS. This is not meant to be unfriendly, but i (and a lot of other users here) don't have the time nor motivation to walk every user through every step of a game's setup.

Here's some hints on what you should do now:
- Learn about using DOSBox (read the DOSBox readme, search this forum, read FAQ's and tutorials on this forum and other websites)
- Try to install and run the game
- If you're still having problems: post a detailed problem description, and detailed info about your system, DOSBox setup, commands you've been using, etc. (the more info, the better)

Or ddrach could ask the experts over at DOS Games.
