[DOSEMU / Linux]how to directly start a DOS app without goign through DOSEmu window

[Daniel Moyne]

With Linux I have a DOS app that I want to directly start without doing :
D:
cd generelt
demgene.exe
in the DOS window launched by xdosemu.

"generelt" directory is in my $HOME directory ; next step is to install my 
"demgene.exe" executable file under "/usr/local/DOS/generel" where I plan to 
install all my DOS appliactions to be lauched by xdosemu in a multiuser 
environment.

How to achieve this ? 
Thanks.

Move the main executable to /usr/local/DOS/Generel
but still have the symlinks to it from all the
home dirs?

If you can tell your demgene.exe to search
for its data on another logical DOS drive, then
you can make that another drive to be the
"$HOME/generelt" on a per-user basis. Search
for the "Re: commandline switch for changing $_hdimage settings?"
topic on that list to see how.
If this is not possible and you don't like the
idea with symlinks too, then I think you are
out of luck.

why not just make a script for that?
