- You should only have to install 4os210.zoo if you want to install the
- 32-bit version of 4os2. The 4os210.zip.rev-d file is an upgrade patch
- for 4os210 and therefore you don't need it if you plan to install the
- 32-bit version. I believe the 4os2updd.zip is the documentation for
- the rev-d upgrade. But I'am not absolutly sure.
-
- You can use 4dos as your DOS command shell under OS/2 but not as
- a command shell for OS/2. For DOS go into your config.sys and change
- the SHELL= to point to your 4dos.com instead of command.com. Read the
- 4dos manual for more details on how to set up 4dos to run under OS/2.
