That would be LOCALIZE, trying to display a message for which the translation cannot be found in the localize.%LANG% file, maybe because the whole file cannot be found. LOCALIZE has a fallback mode which lets it show an alternative message, but not all batches use it: for %%x in ( 0 1 2 3 ) do localize 2.%%x for example just shows 4 lines, or nothing if no translation found. A solution would be to use \n in the translation file to have all 4 lines stored in one message, and do localize 2.0 @@@ short explanation of what the 4 lines said localize 0.1 @@@ Welcome to the command prompt. No drivers were loaded. this, on the other hand, shows all the information even if the translation file is missing. Well, unless localize.com is missing ;-). > the freedos menu from fdconfig.sys appears (the previous fdconfig.sys > has been saved to fdconfig.old) One could use the ADD tool and %ERRORLEVEL% to loop until a free fdconfig.%NUMBER% filename is found, would be even better :-). > The boot works , but I'm getting 4 messages: bad command or filename - > "[Undefined" on the screen (because there are 4 lines "[undefined message > x.x]" in C:\FDOS\FDAUTO.BAT).

Blair fixed a LFN-or- not-conditional-compile bug recently which fixed that for me: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/command/0.84pre/testing/command.com Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
