Subject:       Minuet and Taskmanager in the Caldera DRDOS
Reply-to: wilmarc AT gte DOT net
Precedence: bulk

This was originally posted to the Minuet mailing list by Peter Greuter.
I also tried what he did and received the same error message and wiped
out taskmgr.
There was also some odd affect dealing with 4DOS' command history.
After Minuet errored on exit I started up Pegasus mail. I then
shelled to DOS to check on something and couldn't use exit to get
back. When trying to type exit I got the last command first (when I
typed the letter e) each subsequent letter of the word exit produced 
other odd characters and words. Had to reboot.

Anyone ever try Minuet with the taskmgr?

Hello 

I changed my operating system from MS DOS to ....

no, not Windows98 !

but the latest version ( 7.02 ) of Caldera DRDOS which comes with a 
taskmanager ( and Personal Netware and ... and ... ).

When I am running Minuet - in offline or online mode - I get the 
following error at the *** moment of exit of Minuet **** :
  
    "while exiting : Fatal run time error #200
     Runtime error 200 at FBFC:0016"

and afterwards the Taskmanager is gone.

I can use Minuet and for instance Personal Netware without problems, 
but when I start the Taskmanager ( giving me multitasking 
possibilities ) and then Minuet I get always this error message.

Does somebody else use Caldera DRDOS with Taskmanager ?

How does Minuet use extended or expanded memory ?  ( I could add 
DPMI support in the config.sys file )

For the moment I am using often a boot diskette without Taskmgr in the 
Autoexec.bat but as I still love Minuet for my daily use, I am 
interested to hear your suggestions.

Thank you very much. Best regards from Paris.
