Running dBASE DOS after the dbDOS Configuration Utility
(dbDOS_Config.exe)
Once the dbDOS™ Configuration Utility has been completed, you should now see icons on
your Windows desktop. There can be four different icons for dbDOS:
This icon represents the dbDOS™ product (without any configuration
settings). Used internally in the dbDOS™ VM.
This icon represents the specific configured programs’ command-
prompt. It is found on the Windows® desktop and menu shortcuts and
will be used to start a dbDOS™ session. Double-clicking on the icon
from the Windows® desktop will start the program’s command prompt.
From there you can execute various DOS commands.
Example: You have configured dbDOS™ to work with dBASE V
DOS. Double-clicking this will take you to {drive}:\> (which is
actually pointing to the root folder of the dBASE V DOS program) if
you execute a DIR command the directory contents are shown; if you
type in dbase.exe the dBASE program will execute.
