Command interpreters are a bit more of a problem (setting SETVER command.com 7.00 allows me to run the Win95 command.com after booting up with the opendos one, but not make it the master one in a SHELL line of config.sys). You can use 4dos under both systems of course. Choosing which operating system to boot is something I'm still working on. You can have alternative boot sectors that go for either the IBM*.COM files or the IO.SYS etc that MSDOS/Win95 uses. I have had a system where a second primary partition worked, but this was messy. The OS/2 boot manager has a method of hiding a second C: drive, which might be useful (except you waste space) More later, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Aitchison, Physics & Astronomy \_ Phone : +64 3 3642-947 a.h. 3371-225 University of Canterbury, (/' "per haps ad gloria" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
