<p>200.203.101.30: /* A Common AUTOEXEC.BAT */</p> <hr /> <div>The '''AUTOEXEC.BAT''' file is a reference to original MS-DOS systems which would load settings from a file called '''CONFIG.SYS''' (which had to be located in the '''C:\''' path), and then execute any commands found in the '''AUTOEXEC.BAT''' (also in the '''C:\''' path). Commonly the '''AUTOEXEC.BAT''' file would define the system [[PATH]], load any drivers, and launch [[Software:Windows|Windows]]. Because DOSBox already emulates most of what a '''CONFIG.SYS''', and '''AUTOEXEC.BAT''' would do, there isn't much need to define anything other than your mountable drives.<br /> <br /> The AUTOEXEC.BAT is a segment of the [[dosbox.conf]] file in the program directory of your DOSBox installation.<br /> <br /> == A Common AUTOEXEC.BAT ==<br /> @ECHO OFF<br /> MOUNT C C:\DOSGAMES<br /> C:<br /> CLS<br /> @ECHO Starting MS-DOS 6.22...<br /> <br /> This '''AUTOEXEC.BAT''' file [[MOUNT|mounts]] a [[CDrive|C drive]] (pointed to the Local-Directory C:\DOSGAMES), changes to that drive (from [[ZDrive|Z:]]), [[Commands#CLS|Clears the Screen]] and prints the message<br /> <br /> Starting MS-DOS 6.22...<br /> <br /> (The message that MS-DOS printed immediately before loading the '''CONFIG.SYS''' and '''AUTOEXEC.BAT''').<br /> <br /> MOUNT C C:\oldgames<br /> C:<br /> <br /> ** Any tips about how to set FILES=200 and BUFFERS=30 ? Some MSDOS APPs need them.</div>
