There should be less invasive ways to do this - restarting SHSUCDX maybe? Check the rugxulo.googlepages.com distro (generally more up to date than FreeDOS 1.0) or check the SHSUCDX homepage - updating the SHSUCDX driver might help. You can also update the lowlevel CD/DVD driver. XCDROM, UIDE and "whichever driver you used in old MS DOS or Win9x DOS" are candidates you should try :-). > other times it just plain won't read it Shsucdx only supports ISO9660 CD/DVD, not UDF formatted ones, maybe that causes your problem? > Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong, and > how to fix it? Or is this a known bug? Does not feel like a known bug, but as said, try updating drivers. > Speaking of bugs, after being on for a while, when I try to run Edit or > "ls", for example--pretty much anything that's not a built-in command--it > does nothing, just dumps me back to the shell.

The big problem with this bug is that we need a definition of "on for a while". Maybe you can find out what exactly triggers the bug? Because somebody with a debugger has to be able to look at exactly the moment when FreeCOM stops running non-built-in commands and see what broke at that moment. Several people have reported the problem, but we still need at least something like "if you keep doing X then command.com will start to misbehave after a few attempts". That would already be a lot better for bug-hunting than "sometimes it breaks". If you can come up with such a method, it would be very helpful :-). Actually command.com misbehaves for me, too, but I have not managed to have a debugger active at the right moment yet...
