    Ansi.sys and old Dos programs

    Thanks for the lead. I just tried DOSBox as you suggested. Cute program works just like an old DOS programmer would expect. But I'm determined to make Zork run from a single command in TC just to see if I can do it (I don't have any trouble running Zork using NT CMD -- of course it's not...

    Ansi.sys and old Dos programs

    How do you CD to the directory in the List View?

    Is there an environment variable or function that shows what folder is selected in the List View? I see that I can copy the directory in the List View and insert it into the command line to effect a CD, but isn't there a more direct way to do this?
