DOS type OSes
[DOSes]
I installed Candelra Open Dos on my system for a time, but I had put a lot of
effort into configuring it under MS-DOS and what dove me to uninstall it was
having to reconfigure my multiple boot configurations in my config.sys, but other
than having to do that it was quite good, Win3.11 worked, and so did a lot of my
other programs. I don't have a network so I couldn't test the netware. I think
euphoria still worked as my password is a euphoria program. ( I don't use that at
the moment as my family doesn't have a access to my PC, actually it's the
families on loan to me. When I can afford a new one I'll have to write a Eu prog
to send the files out the serial port to copy the HDD. It'll give me a reason to
devolp a com protoco-lish thing.) Open Dos came with it's own memory managers
including a DPMI managers. It even had a nice configuration program to change
settings in you autoexec.bat and config.sys implicitly eg Checkboxes like
[X] Load DPMI Manager etc. Free DOS is only a beta release.
I may re-install it this weekend a check it how Eu runs, I'll even try other
proggies.
