Hi, I’m trying to use the Append command to make a file available globally, I used this format:
append c:\pe\pe.x
In DOSBox and FreeDOS (in virtualbox)
In both I receive:
Incorrect DOS version
So how do I use the Append command?
Any help appreciated
David
Found the answer for DOSBox for any one interested:
in disk Z:
ver set 6 22
Then in C:
append c:\pe\
As far as I understand you can you can only do the APPEND command once per DOSBox session, the format’s the same as PATH.
Hope this helps someone
It’d be specific to your version(s) of append on hand. Best bet for an answer would be to check the program’s documentation for what it supports. If it supports the /? switch, it might give you an answer.
Pretty sure append works by patching the running copy of DOS, so it’d have to be pretty picky about the version of DOS. I think there’s a version specifically for FreeDOS, so see if you can’t hunt that one down.
