No, hang means stop in the middle, so typically it would not then complete.

Something like formatting a disk might not complete (eg hardware

"The command didn't complete.", or "The command hung.".
"or it might complete unsuccessfully (disk is not usable)."

Thanks for the info. I will test more combinations and get back. Yes, I
have seen the reboot commands, so it should be fine. I try restart after
leaving the app, simply from command line.
None of the apps provide any docs that they would require OAKCDROM. I guess

Hi Lukas,
Glad to hear that you found a solution for copy protected games!
I assume none explicitly demanded OAKCDROM? What do the docs say?
The question will be what exactly OAKCDROM does better than UDVD2,
regarding copy protected games. Not easy to say with closed source.
But good to know t
Hi, I got it fixed in FreeDOS! Thanks for explaining the level 1 and level
2 drivers. It helped me.
The floppy disc of Windows 98 contains about 4 different CD-ROM drivers. I
went with the first oneL OAKCDROM.SYS
These are the results:
1) UDVD2 + SHSUCDX = NOT WORKING
2) OAKCDROM + SHSUCDX = WORK
Hi! Forwarding a message from Lukas, accidentally sent only to me.
To already reply to his points: It is a common problem that 486 can
not boot from CD-ROM, but we provide a boot floppy image with the
right drivers to boot your 486 and then start our CD installer :-)
Note that our installer exp
Hi Jerome,
if FDIMPLES is specifically used in advanced mode, where
more data has to be processed, I would suggest to consider
automatically enabling support for XMS when XMS is found.
Do you say that the amount of required RAM does not depend on
the number of packages, but on the size of the la

FDIMPLES and FDINST are both made for 8086. FDIMPLES is limited to only using
low memory (640k). I

Hi Jerome,
thanks for the explanation, but are we talking about DOS
RAM (at most 640 kB) here? Or EMS, XMS, protected mode?
In FDIMPLES, FDINST of FDNPKG, and other involved apps?
How much RAM do you recommend to be free? Could FDIMPLES

it's always kind to not only mention 'Phil', but be more specific like
