hi everyone i am new at dosbox and i have a question.

i want to play the game: atlantis the lost tales. again.
and there is another topic on this forum but i dont understand anithing about it.
what i did was this:

- i created a map called: oldgames in my c drive (c:\oldgames\)

- inside that map is a map called atlantis (c:\oldgames\atlantis\)
and inside that map the files for the game.

- i typed in dosbox: mount c c:\oldgames\
c:\
cd atlantis
atlantis.exe

and after the last commant the line reads:
this is a windows NT windowed executable

does enyone know what that means? and what i must do to play the game?

thanks

Heh, I have a crazy idea: what if DOSBox could recognize these standard DOS stub messages and would display elaborate message why it won't work so newbies could understand what the matter?

yes that is possible, but what is difficult about the message of the game ?

I think moe did this a long time ago. Can't find the post though.
