is it the Master of orion that can be downloaded here ?

Did you extract the files in the archive ?

Futher remove the last line from the autoexe.bat thing (cls)
and tell us what is written in the screen.

Insightful question, THANKS! (thanks, thanks, thanks)
No, as I wrote, I pasted it from the old 'MPS' file. Believe it was the CD rather than the original floppy.

In any event, I downloaded the game from this site. To tired to try last night, but I intend to 'cut' the (existing) Orion file back out of the DOSBox (put it back in MPS file... just in case). Then, I plan on PASTING the download ZIP from this site into DOSBox\Downloads (windows) file, then extracting the DOWNLOAD game (MOO) into... er, was it 'CDrive'? (whatever the directions tell me to do).

I shall then get back into the downloaded DOSBox config.sys, scroll down, then make sure I have the 'mount' lines exact as they are in the directions.

Then... I hope... things might work . Jeez, I truly loved these games as a kid, and simply 'fired up' at the thought of re-visiting them. Thus, the FIERCE frustration I am suddenly having

DUH!!
I somehow knew it would be something simple. Tried the 'shortcut', using the old game from harddrive. YES, it works with the DOWNLOADED version, but not what I had. Had to tinker around a bit with the autoexec file, but it runs (been playing for hours!

Now, off to find Master of Magic! If everything works, I'll have to (gladly) send this site some support!
