I used to have aliases to commands in old DOS, I don't find the way to do it under DOSBOX.
I tried an old program called DOSEDIT but it doesn't work under DOSBOX.
Can you recommend a free utility that does alias under DOSBOX, or any way to do it?
Thanks

Create a batch file that is in the path.

This is not the same that alias, in an Alias file I can have many commands renamed.
I will need 50 batch files, to rename 50 commands...

There is something called 4DOS that works in DOSBox. Maybe you can define aliases in that?

4dos is very cool, but in order to work with him I need to change all my old batch files.
Do you know something simpler? some small application?
Thanks
