I'm running an AST 386 w/ DOS 3.3, but I need to boot it under 2 different configurations (with different TSR's). I have written a batch file which creates the correct config.sys and autoexec.bat file (depending on which configuration I want), then runs boot.exe which simply calls DOS interrupt 0x19. This works about 50% of the time, and hangs up somewhere in the booting sequence 50% of the time. Does anyone out there know what magic step I'm missing to make this work more consistently? or A better method? __________________________________________________________________________ | ...these clouds stick to the sky | | | like a floating question why. | | | and they linger there to die. | Jeff Seideman | | They don't know where they're going | | | and my friend neither do I... | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
