I have a DOS application which when it's first installed creates a hidden system file containing the licence key. In DOSBox on Ubuntu Linux although it creates the file it doesn't seem to have hidden and system file attributes and I'm not sure how to set these attributes or whether DOSBox supports them.
Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Well, that's just the problem - I don't know. I know how to do it in DOS. Maybe it can't be done in Linux - in which case I'm snookered.

well if you make a diskimage and boot into it (e.g by installing dos on it) then you can. (boot is dosbox command)
but you loose the ability to access your local files. you can then only work on the diskimage.

That sounds a bit like making a dual-boot system?

just that everything runs in a little window as a usermode app
Okay - many thanks
