I have found this code that can automatize lauch in dosbox by editing dosbox.conf

The Archive (that is what you are doing here, right?) is still using Dosbox, isn't it?

If so, that is too bad, as DOSBox-X is so much better and closer to the DOS hardware. If you ever plan on using a DOS emulator on your PC or laptop, then switch to DOSBox-X. It is under current development, improves all the time.

However, when it works, it works! Nice that you got it running!!!

Hey, you absolutely don't have to!

I did a test run with DOSBox-X earlier this year, and it worked perfectly fine. My proposal is just running up-to date emulation software for such work that you do!!!
