DOS Build GitHub action

This action calls dosbox-x, and provides several compilers (like Borland Turbo C) in order to compile in DOS.

Inputs

run

The contents of a DOS compatible batch file, which is invoked when DOS is first booted.

programs

Mount paths to programs to host in DOS. This should be a multiline string, which is formatted as SOURCE:TARGET. For programs that are hosted in this project, use the prefix $/.

For example $/turbo-asm/2.01:c:\tasm will allow access to the Turbo Assembly v2.01 program contents in c:\tasm.

Note that if the config.json in the repository has a PATH field, then the PATH environment variable will get the mounted path included.

Default "".

conf

Optional configuration for DOSBox-X. Default "".
