And you wonder why people go home and download it a USB drive.
I've had this issue with my customer's IT department. Sure, the firewall blocks all of the porn and what have you, but there are many commercial sites that get blocked. I used to just say elephant it and go home to get the files I need, but I discovered VPN  Completely circumvents their firewall. Ponder that. Don't worry, I'm the good guy, but it does make me wonder.

No different than letting a stranger into your house (the zip file). At least your company knows who opened the door (and can close it again).
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

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

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
