Here are the patches for PC DOS 3.2 (Some of them will not work for MS DOS, if somebody is interested a could get them for MS DOS (I hope)) I found them by looking at the patches for dos 3.1 and some session with debug. AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION OF PRINTER FOR DOS PRINT DEBUG PRINT.COM -E 190d<cr> xxxx:190d E8.90 D6.90 02.90<cr> -E 191F<cr> xxxx:191F CD.90 21.00<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> If the printer port is LPT2 then the following address must ALSO be modified as follows: -E 11c2 4 "LPT2" ********************************************************** PATCH FOR DEAFULT ECHO OFF IN BATCH FILES DEBUG COMMAND.COM -E 1B2C<cr> xxxx:1B2C 01.00<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> Note 1: The default for AUTOEXEC.BAT files will still be ECHO OFF. Note 2: If the last thing done in a .BAT file is to do ECHO ON, then you will get two prompts at exit. Patch for echo off in autoexec.bat (dos 3.2) : DEBUG COMMAND.COM -E 115E<cr> xxxx:115E 03.02<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> ********************************************************** BLANK LINES FROM ECHO if you apply this patch you can use ECHO with two spaces to echo a blank line instead of the ECHO status DEBUG COMMAND.COM -E 3A88 xxxx:3A88 E8.83 20.F9 00.02 74.72<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> If you want Echo to echo a blank line after only one instead of two spaces use this patch instead : DEBUG COMMAND.COM -E 3A88 xxxx:3A88 E8.83 20.F9 00.01 74.72<cr> -W<cr> -Q<cr> -- Maarten Jan Huisjes.

I have some official looking PC-DOS 3.1 patches... should I post ?
