- It's possible! There is a program called STARTD that allows you
- to start DOS sessions with specific settings that are put in a file.
- So, all you have to do is to put DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE=C:\OS2\MYIMAGE.IMG
- in that file and your image will be started. STARTD is available at
- ftp-os2. Or, you could just get the latest release of 4OS/2 (1.1
- 32-bit) that has this feature built into the START command.
