I have added the following lines in the [autoexec] section of the file dosbox-0.74-2.conf which will be available at C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\DOSBox.

You can also view these contents from DosBox Options

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
cycles=240000
mount e e:\
mount d d:\
d:\
set clipper=f:121
set LIB=E:\CLIPPER
path=%path%;e:\fpd26;e:\clipper

dosBox allows me to still use old programs such as xDot and fox. I've managed to automate so that when I press Enter on a dbf file, dosbox will be run, xDot/fox will be run with the dbf loaded
