#3DS Shellout
5 messages in this thread
I recently had to reload 3DS due to a hard disk problem. Now I cannot
shell out to dos, nor can I get the archive function to work, even
when PkZip is in the 3DS directory. The Autoexec.bat and config.sys
files are the same as before, and both these functions worked. I did
run cfig386 and change the directory where the swap file is located.
Where do I begin to look for the problem?
Good question. Since I'm a hardware idiot, I'm not a good person to
ask it, however. Perhaps one of the Autodesk guys (Brian, Jonas or
Nik) would know where to begin diagnosing that.
Hi Scott,

Do you get an error message?

Check your 3DS Installation Guide, and review "ZIP-COMMAND". Is it
uncommented, is pkzip still in your PATH?
Post your findings here.

Do you have a copy of COMMAND.COM in the 3DS directory? This used to
be needed to do any shell functions. It probably is still. I just
include a copy out habit.

PMJI, but I am able to shell with command.com in my \dos directory. I have to
use the comspec=c:\dos\command.com to do it however.
