Believe in yourself

Forget DOS, forget Turbo C. The 80's are over :)

Just learn gcc on Ubuntu. Or g++. Or Python, Perl, Java or Lua.

*Anything* but DOS/C.

IMHO .. PSM

Make a simple script that mounts it.


Otherwise might have to look into dosbox settings as to why it isn't working like I think it should but who knows. It might be working correctly.

Hi, again -

My earlier advice still stands: if you're trying to use this as a "learning experience" - then don't. Dosbox and TurboC won't teach you anything useful about programming any modern OS - trust me ;)

Nevertheless, jefro is absolutely correct.

The DOS script "autoexec.bat" is a good place to add your command. For example:
<= this command uses ">>" (DOS file redirection)
to add the line "mount c /home/MYHOME/dosprog" to the bottom of "autoexec.bat".

Substitute your actual directory path for "/home/MYHOME", of course :)
