DOSBox will never work: this is a Windows 3.1 program. When he will try to run STARS! DOSBox will tell him that he can't run it.

The only way you could run this game with DOSBox would be to install and use Windows 3.11 in DOSBox. However, if you ask your friend to do that he must be very carefull: do not install Win 3.11 on your real c: drive or you will overwrite your current Windows installation.

Mount a new drive as C:\ with DOSBox and then install Win 3.11. Do not mount your real C:\ drive.
