When attempting to run a DOS program on drive C: which has native DOS 5.0 installed from an OS/2 session on drive D:, it appears that the DOS 5.0 command.com program located in the C: root directory rather than the command.com in D:\OS2\MDOS. That is the only reason that the message "Incorrect DOS version" appears. It also seems strange to me that when checking the settings for D:\autoexec.bat that it's startup batch file is D:\autoexec.bat. When changing this setting to nothing and attempting to start a full screen DOS session, the machine immediately hung up with the (probably now infamous) error at location ##060:fff60697 - 000d:9967. 60000, 9084 038600dl Internal Revision 6.479, 92/12/09 Any attempt at using a different startup batch file for any DOS session that has been tried so far has been a failure. Disk is partitioned and loaded as follows: Boot Manager C:\ Primary (DOS 5.0 FAT) D:\ OS/2.1 Logical E:\ OS/2 Swapfile & Spooler and some APPS F:\ OS/2 CSET/2 beta tools ... (Logical drive free space) Maybe some IBMer will be kind enough to send this on to the appropriate OS/2 area. I don't have the location of the current email address for IBM OS/2 problems.A Anyone have any ideas on how to make a DOS program on drive C: work properly from an OS/2.1 session? I am running out of ideas.
