I have it working very well on one machine now, using 4 separate batch
files and the FREETEST utility to ensure there's adequate space to do an
installation. Next step is to test the CD on some of the other machines
around here to probe for hardware and/or firmware dependencies before I
start sharing it with friends.
4DOS sounds like something to check into later but for now I already have
the work-around in place. In fact I used to carry the 4DOS FidoNet echo on
the H.O.M.E. BBS, node 1:231/710, many years ago.*
Everyone on this list has been remarkably helpful and responsive. It is
much appreciated on this end!!
