PLEASE REPLY (IN ENGLISH OR JAPANESE) TO THE FOLLOWING BY MAIL TO ucbked@athena.berkeley.edu OR TO jp1ek@sunc.shef.ac.uk. I AM NOT ABLE TO READ THIS NEWSGROUP ON A CURRENT BASIS. i have been experimenting with adddev/deldev ver 2.53 to load the device drivers for drdosv. apparently adddev does not properly pass parameters to the device driver. for example adddev +c:\drdosv\setver.sys /p=c:\drdosv\ fails because setver cannot find c:\drdosv\setver.def. the same problem occurs with $font.sys /p=c:\drdosv\. if the *.fnt files are moved to the root directory (default) and the /p parameter removed, $font.sys works properly. this suggests that adddev is either a) not passing parameters properly to the device driver or b) messing up the path names. does anyone know of a version that works correctly in the situation described above? does anyone know of an alternative programme? i am looking for a method to load dosv or drdosv but do the loading of the kanji display drivers and fep in the autoexec.bat not in the config.sys (with appropriate unloading) so that i can switch between english and japanese w/o a reboot (chev does NOT unload device drivers specific to the japanese mode). -- earl h. kinmonth, centre for japanese studies, university of sheffield, sheffield, england s10 2tn jp1ek@sunc.sheffield.ac.uk
