Hi, many thanks for advices. With reconfigurations of FDCONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT I have now 530K of free memory! However, clipper program reports now some terrible error and dont want to start. See links: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3403127/20120611/error1.PNG http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3403127/20120611/error2.PNG http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3403127/20120611/error3.PNG
Any ideas what is that ? Please note: if I revert FDCONFIG.SYS to original (no MS Client) then program starts (MENU 1). Changes in files: 1. In FDCONFIG.SYS I have replaced JEMMEX.EXE line with this entry: 1?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMMEX.EXE NOEMS I=C800-EFFF NOVME NOINVLPG I=B000-B7FF Full file under this link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3403127/20120611/FDCONFIG.SYS 2. In AUTOEXEC.BAT - changes for MS Client programs and aliases. LH C:\NET\net initialize C:\NET\netbind.com LH C:\NET\umb.com LH C:\NET\tcptsr.exe LH C:\NET\tinyrfc.exe C:\NET\nmtsr.exe REM C:\NET\emsbfr.exe LH C:\NET\net start Full file under this link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3403127/20120611/AUTOEXEC.BAT @Rugxulo - Yes, I am using first configuration of FDCONFIG.SYS - Under XP program works with no problems (In the past I remember that it was working with MS-DOS 6.22 + Novell 3.11). - I didnt figutr out yet how to set up your changes (point 1,2,3). But I am keep trying. PS. I have removed link to VM image. I didnt realize it is ilegal.
