Yes you can run other programs in DosBox
Propmonkey - Once you open DosBox it puts you Z: drive. Type in
intro. It will give you all the information you used to get started which basically looks like this:
Step 1: create a folder that you want DosBox to recognize as its "C" drive. such as C:\
DOS.
Step 2: type in:
mount c c:\dos
Step 3: you now have a "c" drive for
DOS.
Step 4: type
cd c
Step 5: If you've put a program in the
DOS folder you can type
dir which will give you a list of what the folder contains. If it is in another folder with that folder type
cd (folder name)
Step 6: type <dir> again to
gain the contents of this folder and find the executable program in
strand's case it is
220os (I think). Type in
220os.exe to begin installation. You'll probably create another folder (be sure to create it with the folder C:\
dos for example c:\
dos\
strand.
Step 7: Once installed type
dir giving you once again the contents of your "c" drive find the folder you made with
strand installed and type
cd (folder name)
Step 8: type
dir again giving you the list of all the contents in this folder and look for the exe file. If you're doing the
strand one it's called c3os.exe. Type
c3os.exe and it will run the program! Yay!
-Note- It can take a long time for
strand to load - be patient.
Hopefully that all made sense and I wans't missing anything (I was doing it off the top of my head). Though if my instructions arn't complete typing in
intro should be enough.
