Re: [Freedos-user] a unique directory tree question?

I'm a little late responding to this. I haven't seen these particular things discussed yet, and I think they need to be. Regarding directories, there is the "width" (the number of files/subdirectories in a {sub}directory) and the "height" (the number of levels of subdirectories underneath the

Re: [Freedos-user] a unique directory tree question?

Hi Bret, Thanks for such an informative reply. I actually suspect you may be correct about the combination of file names. I requested that the person commissioned to gather and zip the information do it a second time. The new .zip archive is..about twice as large as the first one. as in from

Hi Ulrich, Thanks for the link. I compared the 2 files and didn't find anything of significance. Your change: IF "%config%"=="2" PCNTPK INT=0x60 IF NOT "%config%"=="2" LH PCNTPK INT=0x60 seems smart, however. Based on Eric's suggestion of using more cautious settings, I found the JEMMEX doc

Re: [Freedos-user] a unique directory tree question?

The DELTREE utility should work OK, though it's a dangerous utility to use. You can easily end up accidentally deleting some things that you really wanted to keep. I generally only use DELTREE in a small, "confined" case where I'm really sure there's nothing "hidden" or forgotten that I

Hi Bret, In this case i wish to only remove the directory and sub directories pkunzip created when I tried to unzip the first incomplete zip archive. I will not lose anything, the new correct archive includes all the materials that did end up in place plus new material. As the directory is

Hi Uli and Abe, indeed it seems like it is not trivial to find the right excluded areas for UMB to have stability. Having no page frame is okay - EMS 4 aware software can still use EMS, only EMS 3 software will miss a frame. Normally it is enough to have 550k conventional free. To explain the
