I'm sorry I didn't get the first message fast enough to offer any help. That is weird about the problem with Stuffit, I don't remember running into any issues with that, I might have just unzipped it from the command line. Thanks for posting the steps you used to get it working, I get search hits for DosBox and hopefully this will help someone else out there having problems. Hopefully future releases of DosBox will be a bit smoother. Now if only we could get Windows apps running on the Mac... ;) -Nick Congrats on getting it working!

I think there were many little things wrong. 1st. install SDL (download from www.libsdl.org). This is simply copying the framework to the right place on your system - it's all in the readme. Next, verify that you can run DosBox directly. I was having trouble unstuffing the .sit from the DosBox site. I read about a problem using Stuffit 10 - a zipped archive was kindly provided here: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=11511. That version worked fine for me. I was still having trouble with Petit - it said the SDL link wasn't there, but the SDL checker on the last page said it was fine. So I updated the internal version of DosBox with the one from the zip above (using it externally didn't work - in theory it's the same version that was included with the Petit download). I don't know, all I know is that it works now. Okay, well it’s working. I think there were many little things wrong. 1st. install SDL (download from http://www.libsdl.org).

I downloaded the latest version of SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php, put the folder in the framework in the right place as instructed by the readme. I freely admit that I don't have a clue on this earth what I am doing - the versions don't match up (1.2.9 is the SDL that I have) and there does not seem to be a file named anything like "libSDL" anywhere on my system to create a symbolic link to. Any ideas? Many thanks, Joe Tried the instructions, but did not work.
