We have just upgraded our network to 3+open... the hitch is that 4dos 2.21 causes the network not to load. Any hints or amusing anecdotes? marco

To solve this problem with some of the programs on my computer, I keep command.com as the primary shell and then use 4dos as a secondary shell. Then the programs that want comamnd.com seem to be happy. (the only problem is that programs that shell to dos will use command.com instead of 4dos) Duane L.

It might be worth trying this before returning to the real command.com Richard Brittain, School of Elect.
