* clipper dos program not able to access its files although they do exist @ 2010-11-15 23:12 Vedran Vucic 2010-11-15 23:34 ` Frank Cox 0 siblings, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Vedran Vucic @ 2010-11-15 23:12 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-msdos I installed dosemu 1.4 on VectorLinux 6.0 compatible with Slackware 12.1. I can start my DOSProgram by issuing command: dosemu /home/path/program.exe but when program starts it cannot find its cdx and dbf files although they are there. ANy hints? Do I need to map that location somehow? Permissions are OK. Thanks, Vedran ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Have you tried loading dosemu, then cd path program.exe If that works, just make a batch file to do it for you. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

You keep saying "they are there", but "where" is "there"? They have to be in a place the program is looking.
