It sounds like you are trying to do it right. You must include the path on your command. Is it possible that you are missing a file - like a license file in you directory. It may be free now but was probably once shareware that died after a period if unpurchased. Most of the time they give away the dos license free now. I run my dos on cf chips by itself. I have hundreds of nice programs from the old days. I built a screen menu with bat files. I type in a nunber followed by a letter to start my programs. When I exit it takes me back to c:\ where I started and redisplays the menu with numbers and letters listed for each program
