Re: [Freedos-user] Unknown Config.sys entry
Hi!

hc 1) The very first entry is:
hc !SWITCHES=/E
hc I don't see this entry listed in the FreeDos help file as a Config.sys
hc command - what is it / what does it do ??
Switches passes some options to kernel. FreeDOS supports next syntax:
SWITCHES [=] { /K | /N | /F | /E[[:]nnn] }
/k forces conventional (XT-83) keyboard (technically: CON driver uses
INT16/0x instead INT16/1x functions).
/e used to move EBDA structure from memory top into kernel image; without
this, you can't get contiguous 736k of conventional memory, when assign
RAM (with help of EMM386) to A000-B7FF area.
/f skips 2-second delay and hint line Press F8 to trace or F5 to skip ...
during startup.
/n prevents usage of F5 or F8 keys to bypass startup commands.
hc 2) Another item: I alter the colormenu entry to
hc colormenu=15,9
hc and now the menu keeps blinking until you select an item
So what is question? This is definition, how background attributes
works: unless some code change behavior of blink to bright, colors 0..7 + 8
give blinking color.
hc In the Autoexect.bat file there is the following entry
hc @if %ramd%== goto (label)
hc how is @if different from if ???
@ before any command omits its echoing to screen. This is very often
used with echo off at start of most batch files.
hc Does @if equate to If not ???
No.

Re: [Freedos-user] Unknown Config.sys entry
Hi, you can use @ before every command. All commands with @ won't be shown on the screen. bye Flo On Wed, 17 Jan 2007 07:22:58 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: @ -- Florian Xaver http://www.flox.at.tf oZone GUI, private homepage Dr-DOS http://www.drdos.org - Take Surveys.

Re: [Freedos-user] Unknown Config.sys entry
@ preceding a command simply prevents the command from being echoed on the commandline. Also, if echo off is issued before the said command, the @ prefix is unnecessary.
