Hi... I'm trying to find out if it's possible to pass parameters to a DOS program through DOSBOX. Wine can handle this by use of a double dash, for instance:
$ wine ./firefox.exe -- "http://www.google.com"
would open up google in Firefox
and i was wondering if there was any way to do this in Dosbox. I've tried a couple methods:
$ dosbox ./QBASIC.EXE -- /EDITOR
$ dobox ./QBASIC.EXE /EDITOR
$ dosbox "./QBASIC.EXE /EDITOR"
$ dosbox -c "QBASIC.EXE /EDITOR" .
The first two silently discard the /editor parameter, the third doesn't execute qbasic at all, and the fourth tries to run Qbasic before DOSBOX mounts the C: drive
And that runs me out of ideas. Does anyone else have any insights?
