- The Auto Utilities
-
- These disk utilities are provided as Public Domain and
- Shareware programs. Their use can enhance the functionality of
- VDOS. If they have individual .DOC files, be sure to read them
- before using.
-
- RAM Installations of VDOS
-
- If you desire to have a RAM installation of VDOS, ensure that
- these programs are added to your \AUTO folder in this order:
-
- Diskfree.Prg
- Folderxxx.Prg
- Vdisk.Prg
- Vload.Prg
- Gemstart.Prg
-
- **** Next, to have all of the programs contained in the main VDOS
- archive they must first be removed from the archive with ARC.TTP
- and then must be placed in a folder named \VDOS contained within
- the root directory of your boot disk. In other words, don't place
- the \VDOS folder within another folder. These programs are
- VDOS.PRG, VEXEC, VDOS.HLP, and VDOS.INF if you have defined a
- library yet. ****
-
- And in the root directory (not the \AUTO or \VDOS folder),
- place the Gemstart.Inf file so Gemstart can find out where VDOS is
- located. You may also desire to install an Icon for Drive M by
- first exiting VDOS and then creating the new Icon. By saving the
- new Desktop.Inf file, you'll have an Icon present when exiting
- VDOS to the Desktop. You can then return to VDOS by opening the
- Icon and running VDOS in the normal way.
-
-
- RAM Warning!!!
-
- If you define or clear autoslots while using a RAM based VDOS
- installation, you MUST be sure to copy the new VDOS.INF file from
- Drive M: to your boot disk in the \VDOS folder. Failure to do so
- will result in the loss of any changes you have made just as soon
- as the machine is either turned off or rebooted. It only takes a
- second, Just Keep It In Mind!!
-
- Obtaining a VDOS Manual
-
- Instructions for obtaining a VDOS user manual (100+ pages) is
- contained in the VDOS.HLP file within the main VDOS archive.
