Hi guys,

I have installed MS-DOS 6.22 on my MacOS X through Parallels as a virtual machine. I am trying to play CIV 1 (DOS version) on this platform. But,
I get the following error at the very beginning when I pressed a key
while the credits screen is displayed:

run-time error R6003 - integer divide by 0

I tried slowdown but that did not work. (Also I cannot get the mouse pointer.)

As another alternative, I tried to use DosBox (on Windows XP installed again
through Parallels on Mac OS X). In this case, I have a problem with the
mouse pointer. I cannot seem to control the mouse pointer.

I am open to other alternatives for playing Civ 1 (DOS version) on Mac OS X.

PS: I really mean the DOS version, not freeCIV, etc.

Thanks. I appreciate any help.
 
Okay, I solved the problem. Apparently, DosBox seems to be running quite well under Mac OS X. Civ - DOS runs without any problem. No need to use parallels/windows combination.
