- Sorry about the double post, but try this batch file to exit to and use DOS>
- echo off
- mark
- watchdg2 on
- ctty aux2
- echo Enter "EXIT" to return to TELIX
- prompt $p$g
- command.com
- c:
- cd\bbs
- ctty con
- watchdg2 off
- release
- exit
-
-
- NOTE: You will need the following files to accomplish the shell and get it
- to work correctly:
-
- IBMAUX.COM
- WATCHDOG2.COM
- MARK.COM
- RELEASE.COM
-
- If you can't find these, I will stick them on WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU in the
- /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS directory as DOSSHELL.ZIP. Just let me know, though!
-
- happy bbsing to ya!
