No,I have it in a folder named civ1,that folder is inside the c:\oldgames folder,
all my games are in a folder in this folder.

I have been typing:
mount c c:\oldgames
c:
cd civili
civ :illegal command.
thats just for civilization game.

I download all files to downloads folder,then use 7zip to extract it.then put it in a specified folder (new folder) of course.then it is done.it will have the name i choose to put in abrv.short for.

I type mount c c:\oldgames
c:
cd (game name)example
then a executable file command

If you want I can do more time tonight to go through every single game and type the mounting info here in order: all 1-7 games.and you guys could know whats amiss.I got to work till 5:00 - 5:30pm.be on later.

Try fast way. It works in most cases, in my experience.

1. Unpack game where you want it (you did it already, it seems).

2. Enter game dir with your favorite file browser (I prefer Total Commander, but most people use Explorer, I have no idea why). Find CIV.EXE or what exe do you want.

3. Drag this exe over DOSBOX executable/link.

In 90% of cases it will automatically mount your dir and run the game.

(Other 10% still need more sofisticated procedure, described above).

Indeed. Here you have a step by step tutorial:

Try it with Civilization (civ.exe as I said), it has to work (because that game doesn't care if it's run from the root directory).
