- EMU.DOC - Installing ConIX under CP/M Emulators
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- The version of the ConIX Operating System provided on the
- distribution diskette was designed to function optimally under
- the CP/M version 2.2 operating system. If you are installing
- ConIX under a CP/M emulator (i.e. a non-Digital Research
- Operating System), there are a few general steps you should
- follow.
-
- INSTALL.COM - This program will install ConIX on your system.
- Emulator users will probably have to disable at least BDOS error
- vector patching in order to get ConIX to work at all. You will
- probably also have to disable the ExpanDisk feature or BIOS
- patching entirely. What must be disabled varies from system to
- system depending upon the extent that the emulator you are using
- actually resembles CP/M 2.2. There is, unfortunately no
- scientific way of knowing what can be left enabled and what
- should be disabled. Only trial and error will tell for sure.
-
- EMUFIX.XCC/COM - Some implementations of CP/M 2.2 emulators
- might cause trouble as far as BDOS error messages and warm boots
- (^C) are concerned. The symptom is flakey operation or a
- downright system crash after a CP/M BDOS disk error message is
- printed or after the user or an application program warm boots.
- If this happens, you'll have to run EMUFIX each time ConIX is
- cold loaded into your system.
-
- The best way to do this is to use MENU to set a program to
- execute automatically when PROFILE finishes setting the system
- configurations. The command [J] EMUFIX should do fine. If you
- are already executing another Command Language program, execute
- EMUFIX from within it.
