- Apparently there is a way to make PC-DOS 3.3 recognise DRIVPARM. I
- have tried it and it seems to work. Whether it works on MS-DOS....
-
- A typical DRIVPARM line would look like this:
-
- DRIVPARM=parameters
-
- Add three CONTROL-A characters after the = sign (that's ASCII code 1,
- shown below as the character pair ^ followed by A).
-
- DRIVPARM=^A^A^Aparameters
-
- You may have to hunt for an editor that will do this, otherwise use
- DEBUG.
-
- No, I don't know why it works....but it seems to!
