Allan, Have you considered DRDOS 6.0? You can GO NDSG to learn about it. I've used the included SuperStor successfully on the MAKEAB pseudo-C drive. Addstor has offered an upgrade to DRDOS 6's SuperStor to SuperStor PRO. I found the installation to be easy. It will setup your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for you. It may not be as automated as MSDOS 6.0, but it does the job. You need Janus 2.1 for everything to work correctly. I am running DRDOS 6 on a hardcard with an XT bridgeboard. DRDOS 6 commands have a help switch, and you can use DOSBOOK as an online help utility. It also has delete protection. It is possible to run DELWATCH as a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program. The user can specify in the setup how long and how many copies are kept. Files aren't actually deleted until the space is needed. DELPURGE can be run to do the actual deletion ahead of the need. The DRDOS 6 utilities can also be used to recover files accidently deleted. DISKMAP will make a copy of the File Allocation Table (FAT) for UNDELETE to use. In the third method of file recovery, UNDELETE can attempt an unaided recovery. Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless' from the Rocket City! via AutoPilot 1.03a
