FILES setting in DOS-Box

[Ole Weigelt]

Hello Everybody,

I have an old DOS-application that should run in a DOS-Box on W2k-machines.
Everything looks fine, but there seems to be a problem with the
FILES-setting. The number of open files is too low.

Is there a way to make a setting like

FILES=80
BUFFERS=100

for the DOS-Box in W2k?

Thanks for your help.

Ole

create a COMMAND shortcut (not a CMD one)
open its properties
then goto the program tab
advanced button
this points to the location of the
autoexec.nt
config.nt
files
You can edit these as the DOS versions

Create an icon for your DOS box. Create two files containing the
autoexec.bat data and the config.sys data you want.

Open the properties for the icon you created, and select the 'Program'
tab. Click on the button 'Advanced', and refer the entries to the
files you created.

That should do it...

Cheers, Neko-
