Simple Batch Program Launcher for DOSBox

It just displays a menu of options and then launches those programs. It is named menu.bat and is in my ~/DOSGAMES folder.


To make DOSBox automatically mount the location of my games folder and run menu.bat I edited the DOSBox preferences file in ~/Library/Preferences/ adding the following lines to the end of the autoexec section:
