Doesn't like attachments.  It is a simple program, it should be easy for you
to write.

I had a problem with Dr.Dos not liking soft reboots on certain hardware.
The problem was that the a20 location wasn't clearing out on the reboot.
a20oo.com will basically overwrite the a20 memory area like the hardware
should have already done.  Don't worry it is just a 36 byte exe, if you
would like the source code let me know. 

I fixed this by adding the attached file into the system by:
1. insert the following line to the first line of the config.sys
    INSTALL=c:\dos\a20oo.com
2. copy a20oo.com into the DOS directory

I tried several things today, and I figured out that
the problem is with vdisk. I'm using a virtual disk,
and my program copies a .exe file to C: from the file
server. If the computer has HD the reboot thing don't
happend.
The command I'm using is:
device=vdisk.sys 6500 512 512 /E

With M$DOS and ramdisk.sys the reboots don't take
place. With ramdisk.sys in DRDOS and NovellDOS doesn't
work, same reboot thing.

I tried DRDOS 8 too, with the same problem...
