[arm-allstar] Dosbox

[David McGough]

Chris,

Once you have the hamvoip-dosprogs (which includes hamvoip-dosbox) 
installed, you'll find the "C:" DOS directory in the linux folder: 

/dosprogs


So, the easiest way to install more programming tools to probably via the 
WinSCP program. Just login to your HamVoIP node with WinSCP. Then on the 
node, change directories to /dosbox ...Then, make a new folder and put the 
new application in the new folder. Alternatively, you can just drag the 
Spectra folder into the node's /dosprogs folder.

Finally, when you start up dosbox on the node, you'll see the new folder 
on the "C:" drive.
