- Well, we have it running just fine here. We told the install program that
- we were using DOS 4.01 and used SETVER to tell the software that it was
- running under DOS 4.01. This entailed 'aliasing' 21 commands, but it worked
- fine after that. We are using MS-DOS 5.0 (not AT&T or IBM ...) and AT&T
- 6386 WGS PCs.
-
- Version 3.2 even runs fine under Windows 3.1 ... now if someone could just
- give me some pointers for OS/2, I would be ecstatic! I poked and prodded
- OS/2s VDM using every version of DOS we have here without any luck. My
- latest error is "COMMAND.COM not found" after it loads all the StarLan
- software. It took me the better part of three months just to get this far.
- Does this jog anyone's memory???
-
- Feel free to use my CIS account for email, or even phone if you need more
- assistance. Not many sites can reach us by Net-mail because the Illinois
- UUMAP(s) have not been updated since we came into existance on 4/1/92.
- Of course you can fiddle with the bang!path if you know what you're doing.
-
- Hope it helps (tm).
