I think I recognise my mistake - when Rob says
that Dnos can be used "along-side or instead of
KA9Q" What he means is that the total net
programme ie Elm, Snews,and now the new
Web facility *can* all run together under one roof -
and *not* that Dnos is a completely new,
stand-alone programme.
In which case I should have unzipped Dnos.zip
into my old Demon directory and *not* into a
directory of its own.
Lets try it that way then...
"Overwrite dialer"?...

No!

Runs KA9Q....

Runs exactly as it alway has - no change.

Did I leave another readme file back on 
ftp.frost.org -then?

Has another look - No. Dnos.zip is the *only*
file.

There doesnt seem to be any automatic
setup anywhere - in which case everything
will have to be done by hand - but what?

Has another look at nos.cfg...

"#SAMPLE: these are the defaults used.
#These are new names for the various files and directories used in nos.
#To use them, run nos as 'nos -fnos.cfg' "

Hummm.

"run nos as 'nos -fnos.cfg' "

Everything seens to hinge around this line -
but what does it mean exactly?

Is it like a Mantra - if I say it over and over
enough times it wil just *happen* ?

Well lets try...
Run nos as 'nos -fnos.cfg',run nos as 'nos
 -fnos.cfg', run nos as 'nos -fnos.cfg', run
 nos as 'nos -fnos.cfg'.

Nothing happened!

Does Robert mean to say:

"Run nos as 'nos = fnos.cfg''?

Is it just a simple typo error?

Is there just a '-' missing?

"fnos.cfg"?

Could Robert mean 'dnos.cfg'?

F is next D on the keyboard... adterall.

It seems I have to rename my
'autoexec.net' to 'autoexec.nos'.
Then change the entries to look like
Robs. Ill do a complete print-out of
my autoexec.net for comparison.
Do I change nos486.exe to demon.exe
also? Hummmmm......
