With Linux I have a DOS app that I want to directly start without doing :
D:
cd generelt
demgene.exe
in the DOS window launched by xdosemu.
"generelt" directory is in my $HOME directory
xdosemu $HOME/generelt/demgene.exe

xdosemu $HOME/generelt/demgene.exe
Thanks this works fine but the ultimate idea is to move the DOS app "demgene.exe" in "
/usr/local/DOS/Generel" for all users to access and keep $HOME/generelt just to access data ; in this case :
Move the main executable to /usr/local/DOS/Generel but still have the symlinks to it from all the home dirs?

$ xdosemu /usr/local/DOS/Generel/demgene.exeThis opens the app but has no "$HOME/generelt" definition for accessing data. What else to do ?
If you can tell your demgene.exe to search
for its data on another logical DOS drive, then
you can make that another drive to be the "$HOME/generelt" on a per-user basis. Search
for the "Re: commandline switch for changing $_hdimage settings?" topic on that list to see how.
If this is not possible and you don't like the
idea with symlinks too, then I think you are
out of luck.
