    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Sun Nov 28 00:58:16 2004
    Hello, All.

    I cannot get 4DOS to work right for the life of me under my OS/2 system... when
    I try to run 4DOS at a prompt, I get this: "SYS3012: The program cannot fit in memory." I think I've got DOS=HIGH,UMB... FILES=60, BUFFERS=90 and I'm running
    196MB RAM.

    Ideas or suggestions?

    Later,
    Sean

    Hello, All.

    FILES=60, BUFFERS=90 and I'm running 196MB RAM.

    Working good here in an AMD 1300, with 768mb RAM, Warp 4, FP12.


    Ideas or suggestions?


    Want to compare your 4DOS properties with mine?

    DOS high,umb, FILES=200, don't readily see a setting for buffers, but
    I'm sure its' close to max.


    try DOS SHELL = C:\4DOS\4DOS.COM @C:\4DOS\4DOS.INI and tweak the ini file. Here'a mine:

    AmPm=No
    AutoExecPath=C:\4DOS\

    BrightBG=Yes
    CritFail=Yes
    Environment=768
    FullINT2E=No
    HelpPath=C:\4dos
    HistCopy=Yes
    LocalAliases=No
    LocalHistory=No
    MessageServer=Yes
    PauseOnError=Yes
    SelectColors=Whi on Blu
    SelectStatBarColors=Bri Whi on Blu

    Swapping=XMS, EMS, f:\temp
    UMBAlias=Yes
    UMBEnvironment=Yes
    UMBHistory=Yes
    UMBLoad=Yes

    [4DOS]
    UMBDirHistory=Yes

    Hi all! I see that 4OS2 is still out that and is free to use these days
    (and I do use 4OS2 here on my eCS 2.2b2 VM instead of the CMD.EXE that
    it normally uses). I was wondering if 4DOS is available in the same
    format and if so, where? 4NT?

    I believe I saw a newer version of JPsoft's website. I have to admit, I
    am thinking about seriously purchasing a license for TakeCommand once I
    get the cash.

    After seeing that it will not work under Windows Server 2003, I may be actually changing my mind on that. I was able to find 4DOS 8.00
    however, and it runs like a champ under eCS 2.2b2 :)

    Careful, according to JPSoft's site, v7.50 was the LAST one they released, though a 4NT v8.02 is available from same ...
