I am using the "dosemu -home" option, then changing to a directory under my home directory that has the game in it (the game is Interstellar Space Command). The game is in compiled BASIC (yes, it's that old), and there is a copy of basrun.exe in the same directory (in fact, the directory was copied verbatim from a DOS/Win machine). When I used to to run this under DOS, or in a DOSprompt under Win95/98, everything worked fine. However when I try to run it under dosemu/freedos, it keeps asking for "a:\basrun.exe", and won't accept the copy of basrun.exe on the hard disk. I am using dosemu 1.0.2.0 and freedos 1.1.24c. Anyone heard of anything like this? Any helpful suggestions? (Suggesting MS-DOS would probably not be helpful, I don't think I have it, I always used IBM PC-DOS before I switched to Linux).
