    It is not clear that you are looking in the correct directory on the Windows side of things. Commented May 6, 2021 at 8:57

    DOCUME~1 is a (horrible) Windows feature that links DOS-type filenames (the 8.3 format) to "proper" filenames (longer and with less restrictive names). I suspect DOS (which version ?) does not know how to resolve those links. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename. Commented May 6, 2021 at 8:58

    @Paul_Pedant Windows isn’t involved here, neither is DOS; this is DOSBox, which is using short names following the same pattern as Windows. Commented May 6, 2021 at 9:12

    DosBox as other MS-DOS applications may be finicky in terms of supporting long filenames, so you could simply create a folder with at most 8 chars and run your app from it. Commented May 6, 2021 at 9:21

    Please run mount in the DosBox prompt and show the output. Commented May 6, 2021 at 9:59
