Thanks Tracker for taking the time to help me get dosbox up and running! I got tetris to play lovely
and set the short cut up as you described...great!! The hardest part of setting up any game is trying to locate the proper start or exe file in order to run the game...I downloaded policequest a marvellous game for running in dosbox (I had to rename the download file to something that dosbox would recognize) and then the difficult part...after changing directory to polquest I had to find the correct file to load the game...but after a little experimentation I found that "sierra" was the correct file and hey presto we are up and running..I hope the forum does not mind me posting if I have future problems as I love the authenticity of dosbox and the memories it invokes for someone who played games a long time ago
