[net.micro.pc] another DOS 2.0 bug

tim@seismo.UUCP (10/09/83)

Has anybody figured out how to get COMMAND.COM to work with both the
-c and the -p options.  It seems that if I supply them both, then the
-p option is ignored.  I wanted to put the following line in my
autoexec.bat, (and thereby cause the newly booted system to read both
command.com and autoexec.bat from my alternate vendor hard disk)

     shell=C:\bin\command.com \bin -p -c C:\bin\autoexec.bat

This won't work if I can't get both options to work together.  If I
try this, it runs autoexec correctly, but the shell does not stay
resident, and the system hangs.
