I've run into a snag on a friend's BBS system (yes, there are still
BBSes struggling along). It's running DR-DOS 7.03. We are using 4dos
5.5 as the command processor. And QEMM and desqview.

The XU utility (for setting parameters on the X00 fossil driver doesn't
like loading in low RAM (the usual "packed file corrupt" error).

The DR-DOS LOADFIX.bat doesn't solve the problem. Running the critical
lines by hand to invoke MEMMAX gets an error about "must be loaded from
the Master command shell"

Running loadfix.com from DOS 6.22 solved the problem on *my* system,
but not on hers. 

What *does* work is this atrocity of a command line:

command /c loadfix.com xu 

followed by the parameters for the XU program. 

Any ideas what might be going on? 

Yes, I'm looking for an unpacked copy of XU. But this is obviously
*some* sort of oddball problem. 

Oh yeah, we are still using DV because FXUUCICO complains about the
115200 speed of the serial port if we don't. Weird.
