[comp.sys.ibm.pc] DoubleDos Problem

wirun@calgary.UUCP (Da Ratt ) (06/14/88)

G'day mates!

	Has anyone ran into any problems running DoubleDos by SOFTLOGIC
SOLUTIONS? It installs fine, but when I ran the program, I got the 
partition selection screen, I selected 1/2 & 1/2 partition, and it
does a COMPLETE system crash on my AT clone. I had to use the ruddy 
power switch to reboot, ACK!

	I've got a APCO 286 AT, 10Mhz, MSDOS 3.3, Phoenix BIOS V3.06
release V1.0A, and DoubleDos V4.0.

	I don't want to have to call Manchester, NH if I can help it
to get Customer Support!!!!! Thanks for any help!

    I am having a problem with DoubleDos.   I have 2 partitions: one 325k and
one at 204k.  The 204k partition usually works fine, even for big programs..
  The problem exists for small programs, or even DOS commands.  When I try to
TYPE a file, the file types, then the system locks with a Memory Allocation
error:  System Halted.  When I use certain (very small) programs (and these
are not the same, it has happened with about 15 programs), I get a CANNOT
LOAD command" error.   In both cases,there is plenty of memory for the
 application, and in the second case, I even tryed reseting Comspec to a 
different Command.com then the other partition is using.  These errors occur
even when there is nothing running in the other partition.
     Any ideas?  Thanks in advance for the help.
