Silent Chaos Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 thanks omnifred....... that part of the problem I've already figured out.....The part that I stuck with is, translating that file into commands that XP will recognise in order that my PIF will function.........

os2fan2 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You can use any name for your config.sys file. If you want to use this by itself, make a PIF file for it, and then go to the Properties / Programs page. The advanced button will allow you to select a file for the config.sys and autoexec.bat file (if these are different to the NT stuff).BUFFERS=20FILES=30DOS=HIGH, UMBSHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P /E: 512DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYSDEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 2048 X=C800-CFFF D=64 FRAME=D000DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXEDEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS /XYou might need an alternate ANSI.SYS file here, eg PC-MAG's ansi.com or Nansi.sys. Windows NT emulates dos 5.5. You only need setver for a limited range of progs.You should run the proggie from command.com, if you need something like TSR's etc. A game might require it. Get a real command.com if you need this: eg freedos command.com, or 4dos.com. The NT command.com is a wrapper to comspec.Use drivers in the Windows %systemroot%\system32 directory, not c:\dos.
