Re: Access denied when running dos programs

[Victor Warner <vwarner@woroner.com>]

Ivan,

Thank you for the reply, what you suggested regard nobrl made no
difference. All the file permissions (at least in Linux) are read write.

I tried booting into Freedos (ie removing the $_hdimage parameter from
.dosemu), and tried launching dos programs again. Instead of getting an
"Access denied" message, I was returned to the prompt with no message.

I hope you or someone else can provide some help with this.

Victor Warner.
