Awesome, works great on my 486/dx2 66mhz with 16mb ram and msdos 6.22.

Spam?

What version of MS-DOS is this for? I am planning on getting MS-DOS 6 so that I can run AutoCAD, but I really have no idea what version of DOS will run AutoCAD.

@Dmitriy Kupriyanov
1) Refer to "mount" command in DOSBox,
I created a folder c:\msdosc
(I also created two other folders,
c:\msdosa and c:\msdosb)
inside the dosbox-0.74.conf
(c:\users\your_username\appdat​a\local\DOSBox\dosbox-0.74.con​f )
at the very end add the followings
mount c c:\msdosc
(also
mount a c:\msdosa
mount b c:\msdosb
)
(the
c: Inside DOSBox is actually c:\msdosc OUTside DOSBox
a: Inside DOSBox is actually c:\msdosa OUTside DOSBox
b: Inside DOSBox is actually c:\msdosb OUTside DOSBox
a: is used for old software that must be installed from a: drive,
e.g. quick basic...,
,OUTside dosbox, I just copy all the files to C:\msdosa\*.*,
all the files will be in a: drive, and)
2) unzip under windows command session (OUTSide DOSBOX)
it gives the following
ACAD-r12\ACAD-ERU\acad.exe etc.
you can see that the path is incorrect.
(NOT in DOXBox)
copy and paste the whole ACAD-ERU (excluding ACAD-r12)
to c:\msdosc,
so it is actually c:\msdosc\acad-eru\...
3)
close all DOSBOX and start a new DOSBOX.
create a batch file (INSIDE DOSBOX)
e.g. acad12.bat file,(provided by fernandofrias)
with the following in the
set acad=c:\ACAD-ERU\support;c:\AC​AD-ERU\fonts;c:\ACAD-ERU\ads;c​:\ACAD-ERU\tutorial
set acaddrv=c:\ACAD-ERU\drv
set acadcfg=c:\ACAD-ERU
c:\ACAD-ERU\acad %1 %2
the c:\acad12.bat (INside DOSBOx) is actually c:\msdosc\acad12.bat (OUTside DOSBox)

Please, can you describe what should be the name of .BAT file and i would be gratefull for a short guide how to run it.
Now the actions i made are:
1. Installed DOSbox
2. Placed the folder from the .zip archive into C:\ACAD-ERU
3. Tried to launch the .exe from the folder using DOSbox, and it gave an error that cant open BASE.DCL file
Please help and say what am i doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Awesome! Had to use the default directory name ACAD-ERU, and also used the .BAT file shown in the comments. Worked perfectly in DOSbox with no further tweaks.

I made the .bat file with the paths as fernandofrias suggested. It runs very well in DosBox. Thanks...

Funciona expectacular
Si usan DOXBOX asegurense de crear un archivo .BAT en la carpeta ACAD-ENU que contenga lo siguiente
set acad=c:\ACAD-ERU\support;c:\AC​AD-ERU\fonts;c:\ACAD-ERU\ads;c​:\ACAD-ERU\tutorial
set acaddrv=c:\ACAD-ERU\drv
set acadcfg=c:\ACAD-ERU
c:\ACAD-ERU\acad %1 %2
Listo!

Fallbacks to minimal (read unusable for anything useful) mode due to a lot of file not found errors.
The program is configured to run on an unknown path, i'm unable to find the correct path.
Someone with expertise on ACAD R12 may get it up & running in a whim.

Oops, typo... that should read "...runs code in both real mode and protected mode" (Windows only allows protected mode and thus dos proggys that require real mode won't run under windows)
