It appears we need a detailed explanation!

Is preoccupied an indicator for taking the first letter(s)?
|
|
|
|

I thought the "preoccupied with detail" gave "anal" (as it were) and was a bit confused that the "B" must then lead to book ...
|
|
|
|

To be honest I got the last four letters, and got "banal" from that. I didn't worry about the "B" because I wasn't going to give a "full explanation" for that one!

Maybe it's that a book would be considered pretty boring if you were only allowed to use the letter "B" when writing it.
Can you tell I'm grasping?

Can I get some ideas from the folks around here who have...
- Used all four of these...
As of this moment, I am unable to get Windows and FreeDOS to share files in this arrangement...
- Start with Windows
- Open and run Oracle VirtualBox
- From within VirtualBox, start and run FreeDOS
There is supposed to be some way to share files between the "Host" (i.e., Windows) and the "Guest" (in this case, FreeDOS).
Google search produces the expected SEO-Induced obfuscation
YouTube search produces vid clips of guys who talk so fast and click so fast that I can't follow a thing they're doing, and I suspect that they don't ever attempt to share files in the first place.
And, moderators, as always, if this topic belongs elsewhere on CodeProject, point me there and I'll take it all over there with me. (My initial search for this topic produced a couple of tangential hits on related topics, but nothing that answers this specific question)

I used VirtualBox a lot... It has an option to setup file sharing (folder that is) between host and guest... In the settings of the VM under Shared Folders

Yes, I am aware that...

After something like nine or ten attempts to figure that out, I'm now searching for a video or website that explains what to click, and what to put in the fields, in what order, to make that happen.
I click
I put in the path
Supposedly, Virtual Box has assigned my path (i.e., the actual physical drive which windows sees)...
C:\A\Fake-Drive-G
...To (Virtual) Drive...
G:
Once in FreeDOS, I have no "G:" drive.
I'm trying to figure out what I did, or didn't do, to screw all this up.
Everything else is working quite well on all facets.

that's the error.
That path is only internal. Every virtualization will map the drive on its own. So you need to add the "Fake-Drive-G" folder in each virtual machine independently and drive letters might be different.
They might even change if you don't have the drives "always enabled" and connect other devices before activating the shared folder, because almost all map it as a "network" drive and if the letter is already being used gets another one. At least it has happened to me before in old VMWare virtualizations.
In VMWare you might address the shared folders as a net device too. I mean...
\\vm-ware-host\shared folders\fake-drive-g
\\vm-ware-host\shared folders\optional-second-share
Those should be more consistent that the drive letters

Okay, so can you tell me ?...
- What button(s) to click
- Where to put those strings of bytes
- How to make that a permanent part of future startups
- The proper order in which to do that

With FreeDos... sorry but no idea, never used it.
I have used VirtualBox for a while some years ago, not sure how actual my knowledge would be with it.
I regularly use VMWare (VMPlayer for private use free) and it is pretty easy to use. I could guide you here, although I don't you would need a lot of help as it is quite intuitive.

I am failing with VirtualBox
Has anyone had any success trying this with Bochs under Windows ?

According to the VirtualBox manual:
Shared folders are supported with Windows 2000 or later, Linux, and Oracle Solaris guests
Additionally, you need to install VirtualBox Guest Additions to the guest OS. It looks like there's no chance for shared folders to work with FreeDOS.

Shared Folders in the guest are implemented using the HGCM API of the VirtualBox Guest device, which looks to the guest OS like a PCI device, which VirtualBox emulates. The guest would have a device driver for this PCI device, which then exposes the various VirtualBox features to the guest OS.
That is very useful to have, as it not only provides shared folders, but shared clipboard, screen resize, host mouse integration, etc.
I've unofficially implemented a basic Shared Folders and Shared Clipboard VxD driver for Windows 9x, and in time I could implement it on DOS as well. Would anyone be willing to contribute to or fund such development?
Another option is to implement file sharing for FreeDOS using some network filesystem instead, such as SMB/CIFS, see: Configuring FreeDOS to Access a Samba Share - SambaWiki[^]
