Now, assuming you followed the tutorial, you have a C:\Oldgames directory that's mounted as your C drive in DOSbox on start.
Unpack Warcraft 2 from the archive into that directory.
Run war2.bat .
You're ready, enjoy the game.
Nope.
Not working.
Followed them steps precisely:

1.-creating c:\oldgames
2.-unpacking the contents (copied war2 DIR directly to the c:\oldgames-folder)
3.-starting DOSBox v 0.70
-> mount c c:\oldgames
-> cd war2
-> war2.bat
line before start of game: **** TOD - directory doesn't exist

- editing the start.bat from TOD to ToD
- repeating steps 1.-3.
line before start of game: **** TOD - directory doesn't exist

- mounting the CD-ROM as follows:
-> mount d c:\oldgames\war2
- steps 1-3
line before start of game: **** TOD - directory doesn't exist

After exiting the game i'm told that drive D has been successfully removed.

I'm rather annoyed, spent 2h trying to get it to work. Since I've been a huge fan of your site for years now, some helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

thx

Stan
