Bonsoir Denis, if the DOSBOX simulated DOS kernel is missing country functionality and you do not want to boot freedos (because you do not want to use diskimages) then you could load a TSR which answers COUNTRY requests by freecom command.com with country preferences of your choice :-)
Dosbox also had some spin-off for people who want to run "work" software instead of "play" software: Less sound and graphics and more other features, as far as I remember... Regarding the mount host filesystem feature of dosbox virtual DOS: When you use freedos kernel in DOSEMU, you can configure it to use host (Linux) directories as virtual drives. There are also generic drivers such as VMSMOUNT which allow a DOS, in particular freedos, to mount drives offered by the host in vmware :-) I do not know if DOSBOX offers a general drive access for which a driver can be made for a real DOS. Maybe the DOSBOX drives only exist for the virtual DOS simulated by DOSBOX itself. Giving VMWARE and VMSMOUNT a try is probably worth the experiment :-) By the way, why does your software use command.com DIR and parses the output? It would probably be a lot easier to use the DIR call in the DOS kernel, which is machine readable instead of pure text.
