On this machine I have DR-DOS version 7.02. On another machine I have installed DR-DOS 7.03. Both machines use CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. I have never heard of DCONFIG.SYS and AUTODOS7.BAT. Please post some information about these alternatively named startup files. Sam Heywood -- This message sent by BasicLinux
