Thanks, some good tips there. I've been playing the game for a few hours, though, and so far it's still going ok using the steps I mentioned above. One weird thing is I can't get the manual.bat file to open in dosbox. The manual is needed to work out some tricks such as moving the character to new locations. But a read of online reviews revealed that a clickable map will open when you hit the tab key.

Edit:
I just discovered there's a folder called 'Manual' amongst the files burnt to CD. *g* View.exe will open nicely in dosbox.

Wendy: As I said before, DOSBox only supports ISO and BIN/CUE images.
MDF/MDS will not work with it, period.
Given how few DOS games used any form of copy protection, chances are that the same image converted to ISO or BIN/CUE will work just fine with DOSBox.

Ehm, Fifth Horseman, with all due respect, what are you talking about? Did you read what I wrote above? I got the game working perfectly in Dos Box and that involved burning the mdf file to the CD rom. I've finished playing the game, so it's history now.
But thanks.

Erm.

IMGMOUNT G C:\Users\Wendy\Documents\games\shadoan\SHADOAN1\SH ADOAN1.mds

I was trying to explain the burning A CD from the MDF/MDS image was unneccesary.
You could have used the program you burned it with to convert it into an ISO or BIN/CUE image, either of which would work with IMGMOUNT straight off your hard drive. (been there, done that)

Oooh, I see. *g* Thanks for explaining. I'd have preferred to play it off the hard drive.

You know, I don't think I understand the English language all that well. That's understandable as I've only been speaking and writing it all my life, and I'm a writer...hehe.

Thanks, again, Fifth.
