Oh my, let's begin from zero here.

Open dosbox.conf, under [autoexec] add:

[autoexec]
mount c C:\DOS\CDrive
c:

That's all you need there. Forget the CD for now.

Whilst in windows:>>IN WINDOWS I SAID!!!<<
Unarchive the ab download in:
c:\dos\cdrive\
So you get
c:\dos\cdrive\bandit\

Run dosbox, if you've done all right will start up with a C: prompt, input:
cd bandit
koei


If you didn't screw up your game will run.

Run dosbox and input
cd bandit >HAMMER ON ENTER<
KOEI >HAMMER ON ENTER<

And your game will run.

Where the f*ck do you read that you must input INSTALL ????????????????????????????????????????

You really want to end up in the 'Troubleshooting Archive', do you?

Sincerest apologies, wise 1. I am bogged dow by a horribly slow conn. & a very bad, server &, consequently, don't get your replies promptly. Your patience is wearing & I apologize again. I am the 1 who needs to learn to listen better. You have my utmost admiration & gratitude. Hopefully I will be easier to help in the future. It's working great, btw....

You're welcome, enjoy the game.

BTW, most of the games on Abandonia are pre-installed, 'ready to run' so to speak.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, sorry.

dir /w
And if for some games there is a really long listing:
dir /w/p

If you want to search for a file with a specific extension:
dir *.exe gives you all -(and only)- the exe files
dir *.bat -> the batch files
dir *.com -> the com files
etcetera .......

I never knew it was THAT easy...
Knew it was possible, but...... *sigh*


Btw. Is there a way to make the DIR command show up ALL executable files?

pressing tab helps a bit

but

dir.exe
dir.com
dir.bat

is even shorter then the examples posted above. (and works as well)
