- A kind soul gave me a tip on my problem running my program from the DOS
- prompt. He suggested that I use LOADFIX to run my program. It works, and
- that's great, but I'd like some details.
-
- My DOS manual does not mention LOADFIX, so all I have is the HELP LOADFIX
- documentation. How does it work and why is it necessary?
-
- Next, how can I write a program so it doesn't need LOADFIX? For my current
- project, it doesn't matter, since I only have 1 user, and she has DOS 5.0.
- My next project, however, is supposed to run on almost any machine. I
- cannot require LOADFIX, and I would like to be able to circumvent the
- problem inside my program.
-
- Does anyone have ANY technical information on this problem? Get as detailed
- as necessary to allow me to implement a solution.
-
- Thanks,
- Jim Jarrett
-
- PS Again, please respond to jjarrett@csugrad.cs.vt.edu if possible. It's
- easier for me to receive answers this way.
