Hello - I've loaded FreeDOS within VirtualBox according to the online instructions. It works but I can't get networking to run as per the instructions. A screen capture of the problem follows. It looks like the packet driver for PCNTPK ver. 2.0 is at one location (segment 02B7) but is looked for

As Marco said, Word's Find and Replace does this easily - you need to click on the 'More' button in the Find and Replace dialog, then click on 'Special', then insert as many of the characters as you like in sequence - in this case, 'Paragraph Mark' and 'Tab Character'. Works like a charm! I haven'

Thanks - I think the boot loader has a startup mode without EMM386; I'll give that a try. On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 5:07 AM, Blair Campbell wrote: > > Here is the exact error text from the Word 5.5 for MS-DOS load under > FreeDOS > > on a FAT16 partition: > > > > Illegal Instruction occurred > >

Haven't swapped shells yet, but I'll give that a try. I was going to switch over to 4DOS anyway - I actually bought that program way back and always thought it a great set of tools. Thanks! On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 6:14 AM, Jonathan W. wrote: > Have you tried using a different shell, e.g. 4DOS? Th
