Alrighty, so I wrote the GameLauncher list with a problem I was having in FreeDOS. GameLauncher is a frontend for a bunch of emulators that basically allows you to pick a game, then it runs the emulator with said game. I.e., I select Arkanoid for the NES, and it would run 'c:\ARCADE\ROCKNES\rocknes.exe arkanoid.nes'
Unfortunately, it doesn't work right. So. Is what he says true? Does FreeDOS have problems with sub processes? If so, how could GL or FreeDOS be modified to fix this? I'd really like to have FreeDOS running on here. Win98 would be easier, but would use more precious resources; FreeDOS gives me real-time emulation in ZSNES on this machine (233 MHz, 48 MB RAM), where Win98 needs sound turned off. I might have to find my old MS-DOS 6 disks, though. Oh, well. --Jay > I dunno... if runit.bat works, but it doesn't run inside GL, maybe > FreeDOS has a problem launching sub processes.
