Here's how I did it (with, admittedly, some help):

Hey, magic9mushroom, thanks for the prompt reply. I thought about it and went and looked at what I tried last night.

Tried the Win3.11 DOSBoxStars.rar from the Wiki article Stars_vs_OS with the latest DOSBox 0.74 but that doesn't work. Can't even get it to run Win 3.11 alone.

And fixed a typo in my dosbox.conf to actually point at the correct location of the virtual C drive and it works!

So using that .rar from the link above with DOSBox 0.74 (the current version works! I have 2.6JRC4 running in a 1024x768 window on my Windows 10 64-bit 1920x1080 desktop. Well, it took my serial number, the splash screen came up, and I could start a tutorial. Smile

Next up:

1. Deliver command line arguments to the Stars! program so I can use external universe files and edit and use race files.

2. See if I can push Win3.11 to greater resolutions. Not needed, but might be nice.
