Yesterday, I serched the tool to make a bootableUSB drive with DOS command.
Rufus tool is one of the choice.
I download the tool. It is only 788KB. Just click it and run on the Windows 7.
Look at the screenshot above. I plug in a 2GB USB drive. Then choose the bootable option, MS-DOS. Click start and done in seconds.
There are a lot of old programs or games can not install or run on current, or stat of art, Windows 7. DOSBox is the best way to do it. Bring me back to the old time.
Now, it is how-to shown you the steps to install DOSBox.
1) Download the appropriate version of the program for your operating system. You may need to download an installer program first.

2) Download DOS package , named Win98 boot. (Also try to google it)

I have a script file used in cron jobs.
I create and edit this file on Windows 2000. The editor is UltraEdit.

It failed with following error notes.
