No pressure but I appreciate the effort. I'm sure I'd be able to make something for macOS based on it.

Funnily enough, just a few comments back in my profile I've offered to find a config file for someone else and I also have absolutely no idea where to find it yet!

<br />REM BootImg.Bat

@echo off
C:
cd "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72"
if not exist bootimg.conf COPY dosbox.conf bootimg.conf
copy bootimg.conf temporary.conf /y
echo @echo off>>temporary.conf
echo cls>>temporary.conf
echo imgmount 0 %1 -t floppy -fs none>>temporary.conf
echo echo.>>temporary.conf
echo boot -l a>>temporary.conf
start dosbox.exe -noconsole -conf temporary.conf

I wrote that back in my Windows XP days, so keep that in mind when looking at my BootImg.bat script. I had it writing the template and temporary config scripts directly to the Program Files folder like a dummy, I should have used the %TEMP% folder instead.

And of course you'll still have to translate, adapt and overcome to get the same sort of thing working on a Mac.

Good luck fellow stranger, let me know how it goes!

Edit: Don't mind the registry file too much, it's not only proprietary to Windows, it also depends on WinImage being installed and also the default program to open IMA/IMG files. But the command itself was solid.

I think having a nationalized media funding like we do now is probably the best option for journalists to earn a living whithout having to chase views or dubious sources.

They should also have a somewhat open process where people make complaints about places like Postmedia which would result in loss of those funds.

Funding a organization the regularly makes things up or just posts tabloid level stuff is just awful.
