Hey, great directions! Sadly those will only work for the floppy version--the CD version offers some substantial improvements (though you can get some of them by applying the v.1.01 patch to the floppy version). That patch is downloadable several places, including the Docking Module: http://www.geocities.com/raceintospace/index.htm.
The CD version is much more complex to set up in DOSBox, but there is a better and simpler solution now: the original programmer (and others) have ported the game to Windows, Linux, and Mac, so you can run the game natively on just about any modern OS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/raceintospace/).
Hi Leon, I wasn't aware there was also a CD-Rom version and that's cool to know it's available on all those platforms now. Thanks for the providing this info!
