-
- Note: This is for character-mode device drivers only
-
- Copy the Dos Full Screen Object to your desired folder (or the Desktop),
- changing the name to whatever you want. Open the Settings dialog, click on
- the Session tab, select Dos Settings.
-
- One of the settings is DOS_DEVICE. In the Multi-line edit field on the right
- side, put the name of the device driver (and path). DO NOT PUT "DEVICE=" in
- there. You can put as many as you like (one per line).
-
- If you want this device driver loaded for ALL DOS sessions, put it in your
- CONFIG.SYS and reboot.
-
- FOR BLOCK-MODE DEVICE DRIVERS:
-
- You must boot an image of DOS (or a diskette) with the correct DEVICE=
- statement in the DOS's CONFIG.SYS
