EXAMPLE FILE FOR USE OF MS-DOS VER 3.XX COMMAND.COM
----------------------------------------------------

ADDRESS COMMENTS TO: FIDO 107/27 1-212-777-8874
CONTRARY TO SOME OF THE OTHER DOC'S AROUND HELPING US ALL DISCOVER THE
FINER POINTS INHERANT IN THE VERSION 3 OF MS-DOS AND IT'S COMMAND.COM.
INVOLVING THE LOADING OF THE COMMAND PROCCESSOR WITH THE SHELL=
COMMAND.COM, AND HOW TO GET THE AUTOEXEC.BAT TO EXECUTE.
I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN PLACED AS THE FIRST (IN MY CASE SECOND) COMMAND
IN THE CONFIG.SYS, COMMAND.COM IS LOADED BY THE SHELL, CONTINUES THE
CONFIG FILE, AND RAMBLED RIGHT ON TO THE AUTOEXEC.BAT.
WITH THE ADDITION OF THE SHELL= I CAN EXPAND THE ENVIRONMENT UP TO
BUT LESS THAN 64 PARAGRAPHS, DEFAULT IS 16, NO NUMBER LESS THAN THAT
IS ACCEPTED BY DOS. I CAN ALSO GET IT TO LOAD WHEREVER I PLACE IT.
MY CONFIG LOOKS SIMILAR TO THIS:
DEVICE=ENHANDSK.SYS
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /P /E:40
FILES=20
BUFFERS=35
DEVICE=C:\ANSI.SYS
THE FIRST DEVICE DRIVER IS FROM MS TO LET YOU DEFINE A SINGLE
HARD DRIVE INTO FOUR LOGICAL DRIVES.
SHELL LOADS COMMAND FROM C:\ (ROOT) KNOWS C:\ IS WHERE TO LOCATE
ITSELF IF IT NEEDS IT, /P PUTS THE CURRENT LOAD AS PERMANENT (NO EXIT)
THE /E:40 SETS ENVIRONMENT (FOR KEY REDEFINITION ETC.) TO 40
PARAGRAPHS.
FILES= ALLOW 20 FILE HANDLES TO BE OPEN AT ONCE.
BUFFERS= TO ALLOW MEMORY TO HOLD RECENT LOCATIONS OF INFORMATION
FOR EASIER ACCESS. IF IT IS STILL HELD IN BUFFER NO DISK ACCESS IS
NECCESSARY.
ANSI..WELL THATS A WHOLE OTHER STORY..
IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE COMMENTS ON DOS3.XX I AM ALL EARS!
MY BBS IS UP 24HRS A DAY AT 1-212-777-8874
