Bas> I'am not using a DOS box. I'am using the DOS that comes with W95
but do not run W95 or run DOS from W95 by the 'DOS prompt' if that
is what you mean by using a DOS box.
Some at the list state I use DOS 6.2 and others state it is DOS 7.0
This machine came with W95 already installed and the first thing I tried
was to install DOS 5.0 because many DOS programms were not running OK on
the W95 DOS packet...
The list gave me some tricks to stop the machine at DOS and not running
straight into W95 and than back to DOS... so I think I'am not working in
a DOS box. (Machine = pentium I, 75MHz)
Bas> Working in a DOS box gave me a lot of trouble when working with
progams using temp files. FI: modifying a WordStar or WordPerfect file
uses a temp file during working on it. After finishing your work the
temp file becomes the new file and the old one is marked '.BAK'.
In a DOS box (W95) the new file is deleted because (I think) the temp
file canot be found by the wordprocessor... so all modifications or a
new text are lost... using a DOS box in Win95.
Ris>I don't have these problems with Win95, but I have problems when
using 4dos, and having [xxx] numbers in MIME.CFG.
CV> It works fine for me in DOS 5.0 and 6.2x
The DOS which cane with win95 is basically MS DOS 6.2x
CV> p.s. Does anyone else have troubles with DJPEG32.exe or CWSDPMI.exe
CV> while running in W9x ? Can you view jpgs ?
cwsdpmi is not needed in Windows ... windows itself is a DPMI provider.
