Thanks Brad. As a start would you care to suggest say around 12 of any of the games listed, I will then upload the page with links to the ZIP files. If you can then drop me a line to the Yahoo address shown on my home page, I will send only you a link to the menu page to check if there are any copyright problems. I will then get an idea of what to look for among other games. Gordon

I wanted to post below in http://emulation.gametechwiki....../Main_Page But I find the way anyone is allowed to continually alter the info, makes posting rather hopeless. If anyone wants to publicise below they are welcome. I have over 150 old DOS only Games as shown at http://www.sigord.co.uk/TEMP/DOSgames.txt many of which I might be willing to gradually upload to my site for all to download for free as ZIP files. So far as I can remember they are all Shareware. As you cans see from http://www.sigord.co.uk I tinker with creating my own software and web pages, so just as with my daily pages it will be quite a simple matter to continually update a page of Free DOS games, if anyone asks for a few games to be added to the list of downloads. I will start the page as soon as anyone drops me a line which Games to include in the web page.

Is this the sort of thing you want . I use it but and have posted in it but I did not create it of course? http://basic.wikispaces.com/ and http://lbpe.wikispaces.com/ Gordon

Thanks for considering creating a manual for Launchbox. When I explain I am 81 you will appreciate my problems of quickly absorbing instructions from a video compared with taking my time to slowly peruse through a manual such as with plenty of screen dumps. I appreciate your problem with software rapidly being upgraded. But I would have thought it much quicker to amend a digitised manual than having to record a new video. That is unless you have some very clever software for editing videos. Keep up the good work.

Premium upgrade now showing OK. The problem was some how the filename of Licence.xml got changed to LaunchBoxLicence.xml A tip for some EDIT.COM supplied with Windows still works under DOS Thanks

Thanks I managed to make a few minor changes to my BAT file to run my old DOS menu of 230 Games and software. I notice there is no command line option to enter say DIR etc, but I have my own very simple DOSshell.exe I concocted many years ago with Quickbasic. I will upload a copy to my site if anyone wants it. Also a nice old PCA file manager if it is safe for anyone to have a copy. It also works with Win XP and Win 7 32 bit etc but beware a sound tone cannot be stopped under Windows unless you log out etc. I bought the Premium version deleted LB, reinstalled it and copied the ZML file supplied into the same folder, but no change appears to have happened.

Unfortunately http://www.replacementdocs.com/news.php only appears to offer manuals of games and not of just Launchbox. Being more of a serious user of the excellent LB also with over 230 very old DOS software as well as games, I would like a simple manual of LB. I do not have the patience of listening to someone slowly explaining something in long videos. Thanks

Why does LB not accept a BAT file as below but ordinary Dos CMD will accept it ? CD C:\DOS\GAMES\BLASTER BLAST CD C:\DOS\HMENU PAUSE How do we replace the large Icons for each Game etc. with very small icons or names to allow the opening menu to show many more options? Is it possible to get LB to accept simple commands like DOS and the original DOSBOX such as CD DIR EXIT etc. ? Thanks Gordon
