that way the files probably will stay saved in the directory..

This doesn't seem to work or I don't have the guts/time/knowledge to follow through on things. The -t floppy part works, I assume, but the game itself is looking for a blank disk or a disk already formatted specifically for a game related save disk. Sure, I can set up the -t floppy parameter with DosBox, but when it comes to initializing the disk within the game, it gives me the **disk is write protected** error. Setting parameters for the virtual floppy with attrib does nothing.

Disappointing... I was looking forward to using this, if not now, in the future. Thank you for the link but since I am running Win7 (assumption), I get an error stating the application cannot run in Win 95/98/ME. Daemon Tools works adequately for this purpose though, so I am not out of luck.
Thanks for the response. I was more curious and looking for a possible explanation than anything else. This is just another oddity I ran into that I probably will not have to deal with again.
