- At this stage, I am unable to determine why the FTP shell won't work from
- Windows.
-
- One potential problem I saw with the original poster's .BAT file was that
- the kernel was loaded each time it was run. You can do this (if you have
- a packet driver that correctly virtualizes upcalls so it won't crash when
- another VM is running), but the kernel is only accessible from that DOS
- box. I normally start the kernel before Windows, so I can use it from
- the 2.1 WinApps, IDRIVE and multiple DOS boxes.
-
- Another potential problem is that the VxD we supply had some bugs in
- the 2.05 versions, so the INT 61h API presented in a DOS box wasn't
- exactly the same as under raw DOS. The 2.1 VxD fixes the bugs, and as
- far as I can tell the DOS box INT 61h is exactly the same as straight DOS.
- Late patch levels of 2.05 (e.g. pl4, pl5) were better than early ones.
