Did anyone manage to succesfully install that thing on DosBox 0.65?
For me it just keeps giving some "file missing" message.

I'm currently using an older version of NC that I copied from my old DOS machine, but the one on AB seems to be more up-to-date version.

Rather try use Dos Navigator. Much, much better.

Someone should probably add it to the utils page on Abandonia too.

I've had no trouble installing it in DOSBox 0.70, but I came here wondering what's the difference between the installation ZIP and the images. I didn't bother downloading the images.

Also, please fix the version in the download page from 5.5 to 5.51. True, only the install.cfg file indicates it's 5.51 and not 5.5, but it's 5.51 nonetheless.

Escuse me? The zip is an installation just as well only not divided to multiple files.

Think about it, if everybody followed your advise, each game would have 10000000000 topics...

first of all. whats your problem? o_O

second of all, the fact that its divided in to multiple files means, that it can be put on floppes (like i said..) and easily transferred on different computer with floppy drives, where one big file cant be sticked.

and that thing about topics.. games discussion and troubleshooting is something different. read the rules, -iwc-, no ressurecting after 3-4 weeks .. and this thread was half year old

What is the point to install it under DOSBox? Is there a chance to "save" installed programs under DOSBox? Or is it just installed and ready to work both under DOSBox and (possibly) Windows?

personally I can see no point at ALL for using norton commander in dosbox. why on earth would you want to do that??????, windows explorer will do your file managment.

heck, I am a real dos fanboy and even I wouldn't bother using it!

just my opinion so feel free to enlighten me

Well when I was a kid I accidently started a process in the NC and it screwed the harddisk... <_<
I had little knowledge of it, so...
I think it is a nice tool for maneuvering through DOS (dos box started).
Of course the Windows Explorer will work for file management.
It's maybe a matter of taste.
