Hello,
I've a program that requires a sys file to be loaded, but I've not used DOS in such a long time that I don't recall a way to load other than from config.sys. Thanks in advance.
IIRC, you can download programs that are able to load device drivers from the command line. Can't remember the names for any of them at this time.
I remember one coming with QEMM tho.
Going to go look through my software....
Found one here that seems to work:

Thanks again.
Cheers,
LS
Depending on how they interface with the device driver, it may work
or not (especially block devices will never work). But just try it 😀
actually, the sys file I needed to load was some stupid window management for the program a client is using from the 80's, but I would still take another one if someone has it...
ykhwong has the one I know on his download page. Go to http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ then english, in the top menu click data and then go to the 3rd page and download the device loader.
This one worked much better than the one that I found...
devload works fine on FreeDOS, but this seems to work everywhere.
Thanks,

np, I knew that ykhwong had it somewhere. I used this program on real dos back in the days, because it often came handy and I *think* it came with some logitech mouse driver.
It is a collection of device loaders that I found on the website.
The archive uploaded on my page is probably old-dated. I will search for newer one and update it. Thank you.
