Description
-----------
GoDOS was created to allow users to have a DOS Shell inside programs that
do not have the facility available. It allows the user to perform all
standard DOS functions and the return to the program they were previously
using.
GoDOS has been tested with several packages and systems and proven to be
compatible with almost all.
Notes
-----
If you are using SideKick you must load GoDOS first.
USAGE
-----
Simply type GODOS and perform all normal applications.
If you are in DOS and try to perform the DOS Shell, GoDOS will simply
beep at you.
Parameter Descriptions
----------------------
/1 : Use a Single Swap File
- This parameter is only applicable when swapping to Disk or XMS.
This will cut the amount of diskspace or XMS memory needed in half.
A small buffer is created in the resident kernal as an I/O buffer.
The drawback is that this may reduce the swap performance by a
significant amount.
/A : Do Not Hide Swap Files
- This parameter will tell the system not to hide the swap files
on disk. If not specified, the file attributes will be set to
(Hidden+System).
/D : Always Use Disk Swapping
- This parameter tells the system to ignore XMS and EMS and swap
solely to Disk.
/F kbytes : Approximate Kilobytes Available within DOS shell (default all)
- This tells GoDOS the amount of memory you want available inside
the DOS shell. ie: /F 256 would give you a DOS shell with 262928
bytes of available memory.
This defaults to maximum available.
/H hexkey : Define GoDOS Hot Key(s) in Hexadecimal
- This parameter allows you to define the hot keys you wish to use
to activate the GoDOS Shell. The Default is Alt+Left Shift+J.
The following is a list of hexadecimal codes available to GoDOS.
Primary Codes
Alt - 0800 Ctrl - 0400 Left Shift - 0200 Right Shift - 0100
Secondary Codes
0001 <Esc> 0002 <1> 0003 <2> 0004 <3>
0005 <4> 0006 <5> 0007 <6> 0008 <7>

0051 <PgDn> 0052 <Ins> 0053 <Del> 0054 <SysReq>
0057 <F11> 0058 <F12>
The arithmetic for ascertaining the correct code works as
follows:
Example is Alt+LeftShift+Z
Alt = 0800
+
LeftShift = 0200
----------------
0A00
+
Z = 002C
----------------
0A2C - This is hexadecimal code to use with the
/H parameter.
/K : Do Not Compensate for Mouse
- This parameter tells GoDOS whether you want the mouse to be
compensated for.
/M : Disable Swapping Messages
- This parameter tells GoDOS whether or not you want messages
displayed during swapping.
/S path : Specify Drive and Directory for Swap Files
- This allows you to specify where you want all your swap files
to be placed.
ie: /S C:\DOS
/X : Use XMS Memory for Swapping
- This parameter tells GoDOS to Ignore EMS and DISK and swap
exclusively to XMS.
/? : Displays GoDOS Help
- This parameter displays GoDOS's Quick Help Screen.
