- Introduction
- ------------
-
- The disk provided with this application note contains DOSSWAP.EXE, a
- replacement for the DOSSWAP.EXE file that is included with MS-DOS
- version 5.0. The replacement file corrects a problem in the original
- DOSSWAP.EXE file that caused the task swapper in MS-DOS Shell to fail
- when attempting to swap out of some programs.
-
- Replacing DOSSWAP.EXE
- ---------------------
-
- 1. Insert the enclosed "Replacement DOSSWAP.EXE for MS-DOS 5.0" disk
- in floppy disk drive A.
-
- 2. At the DOS prompt, type the following command and press ENTER
-
- copy a:\dosswap.exe <destination>
-
- where <destination> is the drive and directory where your MS-DOS
- files are located. For example, if your MS-DOS files are located in
- the DOS directory on drive C, type the following command:
-
- copy a:\dosswap.exe c:\dos
-
- Note: If you are copying DOSSWAP.EXE from a drive other than A,
- substitute the appropriate drive letter for "a" in the above
- command.
-
- 3. A message will be displayed stating: "1 file(s) copied." This
- indicates your DOSSWAP.EXE file has been successfully replaced.
