RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Slightly o/t - Booting to DOS

Here are copies of my MSDOS.SYS and CONFIG.SYS files that run under
Win98-SE. Under 'options', setting bootmulti to 1 and bootgui to 0 allow
more than one OS to be booted.

[Paths]
WinDir=C:\WINDOWS
WinBootDir=C:\WINDOWS
HostWinBootDrv=C

[Options]
BootMulti=1
BootGUI=0
DoubleBuffer=0
Logo=0

;The following lines are required for compatibility with other programs.
;Do not remove them (MSDOS.SYS needs to be >1024 bytes).

And, here's my copy of CONFIG.SYS. Note how you can use a menu to
automatically change the configuration when you're booting, and set a
default that loads if you don't do anything.

Switches=/F
[Menu]
MenuItem=4DOS, MS-DOS 7.1 + 4DOS CLI
MenuItem=NORMAL, MS-DOS 7.1 + COMMAND CLI with EMM386 Driver
MenuItem=WIN98, Windows GUI
MenuItem=CD, MS-DOS 7.1 with CD Support
MenuItem=NOTHING, MS-DOS 7.1 Unadorned
MenuDefault=Win98, 10
MenuColor 11, 1

I use JPSoft's Take command command processor for Windows and 4DOS command
processor for DOS, so some of the lines in my configuration files won't
apply to most folks. The key to making this whole thing work is that you set
up several different sections in your CONFIG.SYS file with the sets of
options that you might want. When you use the menu to select which sets are
executed, you'll find that DOS sets a configuration variable 'CONFIG' to
whatever the section number is. Your autoexec.bat, tcstart.bat, or
4start.bat files (the latter two apply to the JPSoft products) can test the
value of CONFIG and execute accordingly.

I hope this helps out....
