Talking DosBox on Mac?

I am forced to use DosBox on Mac but i think this is mission impossible.

Your opinion?

Why? There's a Mac version and it even has a dedicated frontend (Boxer).

I actually prefer Boxer to DosBox on the PC. The auto installer is nice, and the interface is pretty nifty.

Here's the link:

I just DL Boxer_087.

And will check it on Mac..

The reason for my Q is I am far away of my home PC Windows based system.

Here I have access to 2 PC.
One is with Win 7, the other with Mac..

I did settings of Win PC and play U8.
But some times this PC is used from a friend, so I am forced to play with Mac PC.

Ty again for competent and prompt answer of my questions..

Thats why I love AB..
..And I again here after 2 years..

thankful yoga

BTW Mac is very nice system, some like Linux Mandriva..

In the future I will try to have Win 7, Mac and Linux on one PC..

Ha ha
Utopia!?

I think you meant
mount c "/Users/Your Name/folder_name"

What about access/write restrictions on the main drive.....?

Do you even know what you're talking about? I wonder.

Yes I have a mac... /DRIVE/ would be the folder not the Drive... I was saying if someone had a folder called drive with their stuff in on a pc called DRIVE, on a mac if you had a folder called DRIVE in your HD, you would put MOUNT c "/DRIVE/"
