I got my FreeDOS image from the qemu site and they said it was modified

I think I got mine from here: http://free.oszoo.org/download.html . Try out that one and see how it works.

You can make a virtual a:\drive available by booting with -fda
/path/to/floppy.img where floppy.img is a bootfloppy image you've created.

The BOCHS/qemu .img.bz2 unpacks to 10MB so can't be used that way. Which
DOS image do you have and where from?

See above. I think it will work this way. It may take some further explaining, but I believe it will work to emulate a floppy on which files can be inserted to get them into the qemu instance you're runnig. But first, get yourself a working qemu FreeDOS.

A floppy-disk sized DOS image won't give me enough space to run programs
in along with the files I am working on.

That's not what I was talking about.

I don't have DC.

About a 50kb download. Search DC-SK.

Can you try using the freedos image at the qemu site with WP and see if
they both work for you (in X, to fix the keyboard problem, and besides WP
needs Alt-F keys).

I'll see if I can get to it later today. For now, why not try the freeoszoo version I linked to above?

James
