SIAMulations : Message: Re: [SIAMulations] Re: Dosbox

go to http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 and click on Windows under the DOSBox heading , its the first item on the page and install DOSBox.

You will then need to run Windows Explorer and find the file c:/program files/ DOSBox -0.72 /dosbox which is a Conf file ( labelled as such) change it as per Tim's advice. You may have to juggle with the resolution. Mine wouldn't save as Tim suggested it might not so I saved it elsewhere and copy and pasted it back.

You will need to transfer your siam files to another folder and give it a name , i suggested dosprog .

Run Dosbox and at the command prompt Z:\> enter the following ( without
quotes)

' mount c c:\dosprog\ ' where dosprog is your games directory.

At the prompt Z:\> again enter C: and the prompt should revert to C:\>
then enter program yopu wish to run i.e. CA52

Hope this is helpful

John

Thanks, guys, but which file / files / programme of Dosbox do I need.

I guess that I am looking for guidance from the very start of the process.

... I'm glad to hear that. My experience is that DOSBox is the best DOS we've had since about Win95! What's even better, it works just as well on Linux or Mac!...
