So, this was a high-effort game to try out for me, first to install DOSBox and then to finish a playthrough. But I did it.😄 I'm not familiar with the original, but this seems like a high-effort remake. There's a fair bit of stuff going on and the simulation is very detailed and, for what the 1971 tech style permits, atmospheric. Nice work!
Funnily enough, the first game I ever made from scratch was also a DOS game written in Pascal. It is easily blown out of the water by this one though.
Passing the .conf file to dosbox should be all that is required to start it
e.g. dosbox-x --conf "trek'24.conf"
(Yes, I would expect any variant of DOSBox to be sufficient)

Excellent - I’m glad you managed to finish it :)
If you enjoyed it? I suggest you try Captain Stubing - it’s sort of hard mode (a cruise ship performs worse in space than a starship)
