Ärende: Problem with WfW v3.11
==============================

Hello Gerald - 

GM>>>>> When I squash a few of the remaining bugs in this *new*
GM>>>>> WfW311 system, I'll back it all up to a CD-ROM and try
GM>>>>> QEMM97 again, but keep a closer eye on what is really
GM>>>>> happening (I installed QEMM at 3:00am and I guess I was
GM>>>>> overly tired....) 

CA>>>> I tried QEMM years ago and did get it to work with W31
CA>>>> but it was very unstable at random times and I
CA>>>> eventually gave up on 

CA>> >> it. 

GM>>> I think I gave up on an older version of QEMM for much
GM>>> the same reason. I was hoping that QEMM97 was an
GM>>> improvement. 

CA>> Might be, I never tried QEMM97. 

GM> Would you like me to e-mail / file attach it to you and you
GM> can investigate it for yourself? 

No, I would prefer to use DRDOS or PTSDOS to gain some speed.
:-) 

CA>>>> What _is_ worthwhile is to setup W31 using newer
CA>>>> versions of DRDOS or PTSDOS. PTSDOS is not freeware but
CA>>>> is available for around $15 or so from their German
CA>>>> subsidiary. DRDOS can be had for free. Either of these
CA>>>> DOS clones would be faster than MSDOS on the same setup
CA>>>> (10% or so faster). 

GM>>> I'll take another look at DRDOS. 

You might want to check out the 'UberDOS' page at my website
that describes DRDOS v7.05? I've not tried it with W31 myself
but in theory it should work. ;-) 

CA>> PTSDOS can be used as 'trialware' and is also faster than
CA>> MSDOS. 

GM> DRDOS will be my priority. 'Trialware'? Is that similar to
GM> previous releases of jpsoft's release of 4DOS -- only works
GM> for thirty days? 

When I tried PTSDOS the only nag was that it paused for 1 or 2
minutes (can't remember exactly) at bootup to encourage you to
register it.
