Good morning (yep, morning here ....)

It's pretty simple:
Let me assume that you got the whole W3 stuff in .....\oldgames\
Simply put (unzip) the game's folder into it, something as:
....\oldgames\yourgame\
When launching W3 within dosbox you'll find ....\oldgames\yourgame\ as
c:\yourgame\ in W3

Keep in mind that many W3 games will need to be installed, usually it's done by running setup.exe from the game's folder (some are still using 'install.xxx', but most will use setup)

[optional]
A good idea is to backup your whole ...\oldgames\ folder where you have installed W3 before installing other stuff (games, whatever) into it, as in those days it happened that programmers would overwrite some sysfiles with older or not so compat versions, completely screwing up other games/softs in the process, ah those were the days..... if happens it's simply a matter of putting your backup back to solve eventual probs.
