#Chaos Exit
7 messages in this thread
I am running Chaos on an IBM XT compatible PC with 640k of memory
under DR-DOS 3.4. I cannot exit the program gracefully, I must reboot
my computer. All other functions seem to work normally. When I try to
exit from the title screen, I go to another screen with buttons along
the left side including Alt-X. When I click on that button or press
Alt-X, I go back to the title screen. I can only go back and forth
between the two screens, but never back to DOS. What am I doing
wrong?
dr. dos is sick or he is treating himself. get over to dos 5.0 or microsoft
dos. to run a clone dos on a clone is of course cloning and cloning is of
course at best a clone of a clone. get real dos!

Patrick – Chaos seems to be fussier than most programs as far as
operating systems go; for instance, if you're running under DOS 5,
you have to use the LOADFIX command to make it load above the first
64k of expanded memory. I suspect that your problem also has to do
with your operating system.
I sure sympathize with you folk — I wrote the thing, and it won't run
at all on my usual DRDOS6 setup — I have to boot from a floppy to
get it to work. Make it a bit embarrassing when I want to show of my
work!
This sounds like a problem experienced with Norton's NDOS.COM (replaces
COMMAND.COM). DR DOS might be doing the same thing. The problem comes
about become the batch processor in NDOS doesn't recognise error levels
over 99. In the CHAOS batch file, there is a line that reads IF
ERRORLEVEL==999… if you change that to read IF ERRORLEVEL==99… then it
should work fine for you. –PhilD [ADESK]
Actually, that 999 number was a DSP error on my part; the number shoulda
been 255. Nothing over 255 makes any sense at all.
Well, setting it down to 99 fixed all those kinds of problems with it.
Thanks!
