Hello,

I'm a chemistry teacher in the Netherlands and I have got from an old teacher a self developed program written in QBasic.
I have to alter the code to comply with new chemistry nomenclature. The program is widly used in our school. The old teacher is no more available. Now my problem. How can I make the files stored on my Windows 10 64 bit computer accesable in dos 6.22 running in VMplayer? I can't get hold on the right procedure. I appriciate it very very much if someone can help me out!

Frans

Try using DosBox and it's `mount` command instead of a virtual machine. It's far far easier and far less resource intensive than a VM. A VM usually can only show physical disks and disk images to the guest OS, or map network drives. Mapping network drives in DOS without windows installed can be tricky.
