FreeCOM does not feature an auto-loadhigh (yet?),
but I like to keep using SHELL= (SHELLHIGH= strangely enough is an unknown command in MSDOS 7.10/Win98) *and* load the shell in UMB if possible.
1)or would that ask again for a SHELLLOW or something? 2)or only let SHELL= act as SHELLHIGH when using FAT32 kernel and VERSION=7.10? 3)or use DOSDATA=UMB to let SHELL act as SHELLHIGH ? 4)or DOS=NOAUTO to not let SHELL act as SHELLHIGH? (which means DOS=AUTO won't be supported, but DOS=NOAUTO will be)
DOS=NOAUTO seems to be completely ignored. Good, as I expected an error-message instead. don't know about DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO
summary: *SHELL= must be used, as MSDOS7.10 does not recognize SHELLHIGH= *attempting to loading high (into UMB) by default highly desired.
following config.sys shows a situation in which it's desired to load FreeCOM high (not enough XMS available, in practical situations ramdisks and caches can cause this, instead of me deliberately limiting the amount of XMS to 500KB in the HIMEM64 line below).
DEVICE=A:\DRIVER\HIMEM64.EXE /MAX=500 DEVICE=A:\DRIVER\EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=B000-B7FF I=C800-EBFF DOS=HIGH,UMB ;DOS=NOAUTO SHELL=A:\FREEDOS\COMMAND.COM A:\FREEDOS /E:1024 /D /P set path=a:\freedos
