I've never gotten around to setting up DR-DOS fully on this computer,
but I'm doing it now, and some new problems have cropped up as well (see
end of E-mail for my autoexec and config), so here goes...
1. I could never get taskmgr to work properly on this computer - that is,
until I saw someone mention "taskmgr /s", which got it going (this was a
new option since I'd used the previous version). However, I am still
having a problem with it.
I can get several sessions started, but if I try to swap sessions while
one of them has the editor loaded, I get "exception 6", and the session
crashes. The reason I use several sessions to start with is so that I can
edit/reference several files at a time, so needless to say this problem
means I still can't use taskmgr for what I want it for.
2. I am using bitcom as my dial-up software. It has an option to drop back
down into DOS, but several things that I try to do (like using the editor)
tell me "insufficient memory", even though I have 64Mb of memory (and I
ran this software okay when I only had a 386).
3. I have a problem which is isolated to the root directory on one
partition. I notice that Windows has touched it (despite my efforts to
keep it clean). It has a "recycled" directory in there, and I'm unable to
clear it out with deltree (deltree says no such file exists, but it's
there if I do a "dir /s"). This may or may not be relevant.
Anyhow, when I want to use the editor in this directory I get "internal
error 82". I also get it if a do a "type filename|more", however it works
with just "type filename" (which is no good for multi-page files). Ditto
if I try to re-direct. For a while I was able to get around the editor
problem by deleting the .$$$ files, but that no longer works. I am able to
edit my files if I move them to another directory. Any ideas on how to
clear up this directory? (I'd rather not re-format if it can be avoided)
