PATH entry in AUTOEXEC.BAT

autoepath

The DOSBox initial PATH line is "PATH=Z:/".

In the section, Dapplegrey gives you a way to edit the PATH line just by adding your custom lines at the end of the presented line "PATH=%PATH%;" as shown in this example:

PATH=%PATH%; C:/WINDOWS;C:/DOS

This will add your path entry to the current path line, so the DOSBox original "PATH=Z:" value will not be overwritten.
This way, the internal DOSBox commands are still available to the user w/o having to enter a z: in front of them.

Here are some other hints to add your own path entries:

  • Different pathes have to be separated by the character ; (semicolon).
  • You don‘t have to force enter the char \ in its line, the char / does the same work.
  • DOS pathes usually starts with its drive letter, a colon and the slash, i.e "C:/".

System Files drive-letter

By default, the system files of DOSBox are located on drive Z: Usually, there is no reason to change its drive letter.

This property is only available to recent SVN versions of 2013 and later.
