Thanks! I am using 4DOS, so this was the problem. But as a follow-up
question, what's the proper syntax for using "loadhigh" in conjunction
with "install" in the config.sys (specifically for Fastopen)? The above
suggested line works fine in my autoexec.bat, but when I try:
install=command.com /c loadhigh c:\dos\fastopen.exe c:=(150,150)
I get the boot-up message "Fastopen installed. Error in config.sys line 8"
which is the above line. (I don't get the error when I remove that line).
It *does* load fastopen into the UMB according to mem /c, but it's kind of
irritating to get that error message every time I reboot. I've tried a few
minor variations such as removing the extensions .com and .exe, removing
the /c switch, and just doing a straight install=loadhigh c:\dos..., but
they all give me outright errors and don't load Fastopen successfully.
(Obviously I'm just going by trial and error, but I can't seem to find the
answer in the manual :-) Can anyone see my mistake?
