- I initially had a problem trying to run Ndos also under
- OS/2 but found 4DOS 4.01 to run just fine. I suggest getting
- 4DOS 4.01 from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu under pub/os2/all/shells/4dos401.zoo
- and try it. Also from what I have heard over the Net, NDOS is
- the version 3.x of 4DOS. Version 4.01 may have some fixes to allow
- it to run under OS/2. There is also a 4OS2 you should try if you
- are not aware of it. It is also located in the same directory under
- 4os210.zoo.
