Hi

I'm currently trying to setup an old DOS PC with 4dos, qemm and desqview.

I have them all installed, but when I change the SHELL in config.sys to 4DOS.COM
desqview can't start dos shells. I get an error "File Not Found"

Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

set comspec=c:\4dos.com /p /e:1024

set /e:xxx to an environment size xxx that is reasonable for your applications. DOS defaults to 160, which is ridiculously small.

Ok, I have another problem now.

If I try to open a DOS shell in a window (ie DOS 128k)
I get an error that "Program is to big to fit in memory"

Is this because 4dos.com is to big?

Opening a "Big DOS" Shell works fine

I don't know for sure, since I ahven't used 4DOS that much in the past, but generally speaking,
yoo can change/edit/rename that DESQView menu item so the DOS window has got more than 128KB. 😀
