I agree with him. Remember to read the documentation first though.

1209765 2011-06-16 10:09:00 Can you use it to run the program off a networked drive? Jeff (1070)

Maybe, though I would assume no.

Would advise using a GUI/frontend, much easier to use, I recommend Ampshell.

1209770 2011-06-16 23:34:00 DOSBox is good but if you want the real deal use a virtual machine and install real MS-DOS.

Some programs don't like DOSBox
