Update on the above:
I found it at: http://www.phys.uu.nl/~faber/Windows_No_GUI/
I have made some initial tests and thought I should post this note to help
anyone headed the same way. I downloaded the Win311.zip and my first
comment is that this version was designed for Win for workgroups.
No matter. If you want to try it with Win311 just ignore his references to
all files required EXCEPT win386.exe.
Using his system.ini as a template only, create your own new system.ini by
extracting ONLY the [386enhan] section of your EXISTING system.ini. There may
be portions of this you can delete - I removed all references to comports.
Remember to save your existing system.ini AND make a copy of krnl386.exe too.
I re-wrote his batch file to make the necessary automatic name changes and file
copies on entry/exit so I could use my existing files.
The first test worked well. I got windows to take me to a dos prompt.<g>
The second test worked FAIRLY well. I got printmanager to load and exit
without crying about the lack of windows.<G>
The third test is now working as I'm in Netscape writing this so I haven't
trashed my windows setup.<VBG>
The next thing is to find out how to pass the required file information to
printmanager.
Any more ideas out there ?
p.s. Those more interested in Win 9x will also find some ideas there.
