LOCAL FIX: Text to be changed into "setup /a /t:c:\pcdos7 /w" and all is OK PROBLEM SUMMARY: When using the LAN install process the user can not specify the desired path for DOS to be installed in. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: The documentation states the /T switch should be used as /t:c:pcdos7 as an example. The real syntax should be /t:c:\pcdos7. The documentation neglected to include the backslash character in the path. This causes the admin installation to default to the PCDOS7 directory instead of the directory specified by the user.

LOCAL FIX: PROBLEM SUMMARY: The documentation states that inorder to keep the COMMON section of the CONFIG.SYS when using RAMSETUP that the RAMSETUP.INI file needs the KEEPCOMMON flag set. It doesn't say where to put this in the INI file. It should be added by the user via a text editor after the CONFIG.SYS label in the RAMSETUP.INI file. The default for PC DOS 7 is to remove the COMMON section. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: See Problem description.

PROBLEM SUMMARY: PROBLEM CONCLUSION: TEMPORARY FIX: COMMENTS: To work around this problem you must have the environment variable COPYCMD set.

PC/DOS Platform ............ DOS Status Detail: Not Available PE PTF List: PTF List: Parent APAR: Child APAR list: ERROR DESCRIPTION: Mouse /?, Help Mouse, and Help on Mouse.ini contents contradict each other on hardware cursor feature within Dos 7. Mouse /? command says "hardware cursor /Y (use hardware cursor feature)" which implies it turns the hardware cursor feature on. Help Mouse command says "/y Specifies that the hardware cursor be turned off" which contradicts Mouse /? command. Help on Mouse.ini says "HardwareCursorSupport=TRUE, FALSE" for File Parameters and TRUE=DEFAULT for Possible Values which implies its defaulted to on. LOCAL FIX: PROBLEM SUMMARY: The on-line help for the MOUSE states that the /Y parameter is for turning the HARDWARE cursor off. This is incorrect it is to turn the HARDWARE support ON. OFF is the DEFAULT for the mouse.
