- 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
-
-

- 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.
