The documentation for PCSIM is pretty extensive on how to set it up to run DOS
applications. To begin with you will need to start pcsim with a DOS diskette
in the diskette drive using: pcsim -A 3
You should also have TOUCHED a file prior to starting the pcsim so that you
can emulate a hard disk. To do that execute the following commands:
touch filename
pcsim -A 3 -C filename
Then its just like you have a brand new AT. You have to format the C drive,
copy DOS over to it, etc. The documentation is better than what I've just
described.
