Why do you say I have a fake drive, both sides have real harddrives. I have made a bootable MS-DOS 6.0 disk and booted from it. No luck. Let me look into your other suggestions. Thanks. Allan Baer
I removed the line DEVICE=c:\janus\jdisk.sys, it made no difference. I do not have a fake drive, I do have an HD on the IBM side. Allan Baer
I do not have a JLINK.SYS in my config.sys, which looks like this for one of the installs: DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE DEVICE=C:\Janus\JDisk.SYS Stacks=0,0 BUFFERS=40 FILES=40 SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /e:512 /p Allan Baer
I have paid for MS-DOS 6.0. Would like it to work. So for now I'll go down this path. Thanks for suggestion. Allan Baer
Betty, Thanks. I'll do that. Allan Baer
#MS-DOS 6 Fails

Betty, I check my default setting and paged option is set to no. Is there any AutoPilot setting that could stop me? Allan Baer
It may be neat, but it does not work. It appears that it stop the search after library 1. It maybe that the text Pnet24.lzh is incomplete as it does not state which library, but I can not find anywhere in the DOCs how to get it to search on.…
#A little bit of HELP
Message #34528
I would like to download PNET24.LZH which is in AmigaTech library 11 I've read. Using AutoPilot's SINGLE FILE feature, how do I enter the line so it can be found. Allan Baer
VT100 under ATalk3
Message #52088
In the user's manual for "ATalk3" fourth edition July 1992. On page 55, second paragraph on VT100 it talks about SCS command. When do you hit the ESC key followed by ( 0 for the National Special Graphics? And where? Allan Baer ( Be part of the solution, not part…
Do you work for SAS? Where do you get your "FACTs" that "SAS put more effort into this development than most Amiga companies put into an entire product" ?? Allan Baer ( Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. )
Jeff, I paid $205 at an Amiga Store in Feb. of this year for 5.10. Six months later, SAS wants $109. That is 50% of my original cost and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Allan Baer ( Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. )
Bill, Thanks. It's nice to go to the source. That does not seem to hold when I change PRT: to PAR:. Is there anyway to test or is there no reason to use PAR:? Allan Baer ( Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. )

Janus V2.1
Message #61128
Just installed Janus V2.1 on my 2000. It's looking good. The only real problem was I did not update the MS-DOS side first. Allan Baer ( Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. )
Mark, Thanks again for your reply. The disks formatted by the prior version of QB could be copied using DISKCOPY. Allan Baer ( Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. )
Thanks for your reply. I did come up with some estimates on later tries, 63 disks which i was able to cut to 26. I am trying to create a exclude tag filter list. For me, excluding a standard list of applications I have the original disks and backing up…

Locking up your HD
Message #53451
I've uploaded SL101.LZH, it a first for me with CompuServe. The purpose of Softlock is to prevent unauthorized access of your HD. The program has been tested under 1.3 and 2.04. Total security is not possible, but this program can keep most people out. The computer illiterate and the computer…

Message #52495
I have two questions. (1) From my current directory I copied 22 files about 1,200,000 bytes in 15.45 min. The command was ( copy a:*.* ). Going the other way ( copy *.* a: ) took 2.30 min. How can I speed up the downing loading from floppies? (2) Where…

chmod under manx
Message #20688
I have been told that to change the attribute byte of a file in Lattice you would declare an extern int chmod(char *,int). Then a statement such as chmod("filename", S_IREAD | S_IDELETE). Well now the question how would or could you do this in Manx? A more basic question is…

#UEdit & WB2
Message #46208
Left a message this passed weekend, but it looks as if it got lost. Downloaded UED26H.LZH and tried to run it under 2.04. It Fails. Then I realized this is not a new release. Had tried it before X-mas, after I had put on WB2. Why was just post?? Allan…

#NoteBook Demo – Fails
Message #31363

#How do MakeLink work
Message #42170
I try to keep my "C" library pure, therefore the program muchmore can be found in a library call "bin". It seems that all "doc_file" info_icons point to c for muchmore. WB2 answer is use MAKELINK. Which I do. It appears to user one block for the pointer. So far…
Bruce, The memory useage is about 400,000 bytes, that is 800 buffers times 500 bytes. Last Friday I pickup WB2. The same holds true wheather you are using 2.0 or 1.3, the buffers are used to hold the information being read for the HD. What is movssp? I have a…
