I have a NetWare 5.1 server and I need to create a multiple config boot. With MS-DOS, it was as simple as using the following structure in CONFIG.SYS. [Menu] Menuitem=BootServ, Boot Server Menuitem=BootWork, Boot Workstation Menudefault=BootServ, 10 [BootServ] [BootWork] Files=60 Buffers=20 Device=c:\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:CD001 Then AUTOEXEC.BAT looked like this. Prompt $P$G Goto %config% :BootServ cd\nwserver server goto END :BootWork mscdex /d:CD001 goto END :END Here is a sample CONFIG.

MS-DOS isn't gone, its just harder to get too. Just create a Windows Start Up disk and you can easily get to MS-Dos. Programs like Scandisk no longer need to run in Dos if there is a bad shutdown, Microsoft has improved the program to run when Windows restarts. No. Creating a boot disk to run a bios update is easily done. Read our tip for details on how to create one.

You can use Peter Watson's MUG! program on your IIgs to transfer files via MS-DOS Iomega Zip disks. MUG! will let you read Zip disks on a IIgs equipped with a Zip drive and a SCSI interface. MUG is an NDA; so, it can be installed like other NDA's-- e.g. having the main MUG! file (probably MUG.1.01) in the System/Desk.Accs/ folder when booting. For easy use, start with a regular ProDOS Zip disk in your IIgs Zip Drive. Start a standard IIgs desktop program that does not test inserted disks.

First, start up SmartDrive to speed things up. Next, run WINNT from the I386 folder. Setup should launch, warn you if you don't have SmartDrive loaded, copy the cd to a temporarily to your hard disk and reboot your computer. A more detailed guide.

There is some work being done to create a free port of XFree86 to Microsoft Windows. However, in the mean time, if you need to run X on such a platform you'll need to use one of the available commercial servers. One of the commercial products, X Appeal, is from an XFree86 sponsor and is a port of the XFree86 servers to MS-DOS. They also have a freely available demo version. X11R6.3 does include some support for MicroSoft Windows NT.

The Windows NT command processor CMD.EXE can be run from ksh, so CMD.EXE built-in commands can also be run. Assuming that PATH has been set up to include the Windows NT system directory, UWIN environment could be set to give the dir command for directory listings. For example setting the alias, alias dir='CMD.EXE /c "dir /on"', will allow the native dir command to be used in ksh.

It is likely that you have run into the USB problems that Windows 98 has brought with it. If you have a USB device plugged into your computer (Gamepads etc) then sometimes, when you shut down into DOS - Windows 98 will give you a blue screen error, that only a reboot can fix. The work around is to unplug the USB device before rebooting.

The CPHANTOM project is a 'C' language skeleton for a MS-DOS Int 2F file system redirector. The example is inspired by the Pascal language PHANTOM redirector example provided in the book Undocumented DOS by Andrew Schulman, Raymond J. Michels, Jim Kyle, Tim Paterson, David Maxey and Ralf Brown, published by Addison Wesely, 1990. CPHANTOM is provided as a Borland C++ 4.5 project. The PCA CPHANTOM redirector was designed to illustrate a few more functions than the original PHANTOM example.

A) DOS (disk operating system) was the operating system software developed for 16-bit Intel processors and shipped with the first IBM PCs, and until the introduction of Microsoft Windows. DOS uses a command-line user interface.

If LILO doesn't work, and if the machine has MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows, you may be left with a computer that won't boot. This can also happen on an upgrade to your Linux distribution. Re-installing LILO is the last thing that the installation does. So it is vitally important when installing or upgrading Linux on a dual boot machine, to have a MS-DOS or Windows rescue disk nearby so you can FDISK -MBR. Then you can go about using LOADLIN.EXE instead of LILO.

A good AUTOEXEC.BAT might be: ECHO OFF ALIAS LS=DIR ALIAS COPY=C:\FDOS\BIN\COPY.EXE PATH C:\FDOS\BIN;C:\FDOS\EMACS SET EMACS=C:\FDOS\EMACS\ SET HELPPATH=C:\FDOS\HELP SET PAGER=MORE

John Dallman* has written a program ''#!perl.exe" which will do this. It is available through anonymous ftp from ftp.ee.umanitoba.ca in the directory /pub/msdos/perl/hbp_30.zip. This program works by finding the script and perl.exe, building a command line and running perl.exe as a child process. For more information on this, contact John directly.

We are assuming that you are accessing MS-DOS through the Windows "Run CMD" capability. Since the normal Windows keyboard and mouse drivers are still running, the orbiTouch® will work fine. As for the optical mouse, that should work also. If the optical mouse is occupying one of the PS/2 ports, we suggest that you plug the orbiTouch® in via the included USB adapter. Back to Top

If you are running 32-bit Windows you don't want a DOS version. Ghostscript for MS-Windows includes a Windows console mode executable named gswin32c.exe. The last 16-bit DOS version was either GS 2.61 or 3.33. The last 32-bit DOS extended version was GS 5.10.

You can't. Crack is Unix software, written for Unix systems and running primarily on Unix systems, and if you don't know what Unix is, then you don't need to know about Crack.

Place a blank formatted disk in the A: drive. Then from the DOS prompt of your boot hard drive type 'SYS A:\'. This will place the DOS system files and command file onto the floppy. Note that this will not copy any DOS system configuration or memory management programs. You will need to copy those over to the floppy as well if you need them (fdisk, format, etc.) Sometimes this happens.

If you are programming for MS-DOS, you will need to write an interrupt driven handler for the RS-232 ports. Only the most trival output-only applications can use the BIOS functions built into the PC. Anything that needs reliable input needs to use interrupts. Win16 and Win32 supply drivers that take care of that problem. All you have to learn with those is how to use the API, which is significantly different between the two platforms.

No. We have never supported running on MS-DOS or Windows 3.1, and in fact have long since deleted all MS-DOS-related code. We're not particularly interested in patches for these platforms, as they would introduce huge amounts of code clutter due to the woefully underfeatured nature of these systems. (See GNU Emacs for a port to MS-DOS.)

This would be illegal. We would have to license DOS from Microsoft, a license is needed for every diskette image we would send or make available for download. You do not want to know how expensive that is. In addition, Freedos has proven itself to be a worthy replacement when it comes to harddisk recovery.

Copy the MSCDEX.EXE to the floppy disk. This file is a MICROSOFT copyrighted file. You can find it on any Windows computer and on Windows installation floppy disks. During the installation, enter the source and destination. When you have to select the device to install, highlight CD-ROM and hit the SPACE BAR to select the driver. A block will appear next to CDROM. Hit ENTER to proceed and the installation will complete. Make sure that there is a copy of the MSCDEX.EXE in the C:\DOS directory.

You can do that using an ansi-driver like ansi.sys (load it in config.sys: DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS). Let's assume that you want to start Windows by pressing the F1-key. To start Windows with the F1 key, you have to modify/create the prompt-section in your autoexec.bat: PROMPT $e[0;59;"C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM";13p$P$G The last $P$G tells command.com to show your active working directory (e.g. C:\DOS>) on the prompt. With the number 59 you can use the key F1, with 60 F2, 61 F3 and so on.

r-library will create a report in MS Word using the hilited portions of a web page or document that you have saved. From the r-library navigation bar, select â??Search Libraryâ?? and retrieve the web pages or documents that you would like to work with. Check the applicable title and then click on the â??Create Reportâ?? button at the bottom of the dialog box. All hilited entries will appear along with reference information regarding the origin of the web page or document.
