4DOS and NDOS are not Fully Compatible with MemMaker |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22
SYMPTOMS
Third-party command interpreters, such as JP Software's 4DOS and
Symantec's NDOS, are not fully compatible with MemMaker.
Because MemMaker does not know which command interpreter you are
using, if you have a CALL command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, MemMaker
uses COMMAND.COM and the following command during the sizing process:
COMMAND.COM /C=C:\NETWARE\INSTNET.BAT
This causes problems if your current command interpreter is not
COMMAND.COM.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use COMMAND.COM for your command
interpreter when you run MemMaker. To do this, place the following
line in your CONFIG.SYS file, replacing the current SHELL command, and
restart your computer:
shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos\ /e:1024 /p
NOTE: If you use this SHELL command, make sure COMMAND.COM is in your
\DOS directory.
