... you create a debug script and then do: > debug < %tmp%\dbscript > nul > vol %1 > %tmp%\file2 > fc %tmp%\file1 %tmp%\file2 > nul > if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto success ... > edlin %tmp%\file2 < %tmp%\edscript > nul Edlin :-) Maybe obvious, but did you try using kernel 2040 instead? See the news on www.freedos.org/ for download URL and info. You can simply replace the kernel.sys file, no need to run SYS again as long as booting already worked okay anyway :-) Eric PS: Which shell do you use, FreeCOM command.com? Which version? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?
