I have Win95 installed over DOS6.22. I use "95" when software
demands but spend most of my time in 6.22 where I putz around with Batch
files. For the moment I am booting ODOS from a floppy just to get some
idea of what it's about. Form a Batch file prospective ODOS looks to have
a lot going for it and at some future date I'd like to make it a more
perminate part of my setup. Two ideas come to mind. Replace DOS6.22 as
the previous O/S, with ODOS, or get me a good Boot Manager that will
allow me to boot as I chose. Any Ideas on the subject?
While scrounging through DOSbook I came across the Filelist
function which would seem to allow one to do things to a number of files
named in a text.file list. A handy tool for Batch filers and one that I
can only match in DOS6.22 with the aid of a most grievous Kludge. One
problem, I don't seem to be able to get it to work. Any ODOS BatRats out
there had a chance to use this Filelist function?
Well that's it for openers and thanks again to all for flagging
me in.
