When I have two or more DOS boxes running in WINDOWS 3.0 at the same time and I UP-Arrow NDOSEDIT, Windows gets very upset and terminates my DOS Box(s). Is there a Dos Command Line Editor that is Windows 3.0 DOS Box compatible? THanks Glenn Boozer glenn@imagen.com

Both CED and PC Mag's CMDEDIT have the same "problem". The solution is to follow Microsoft's advice and not load such TSRs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT. Instead, create a batch file that loads the TSR and then runs COMMAND.COM. [I believe there is a parameter needed to make COMMAND.COM enter its interactive mode. /C? I'm not at my micro, so I can't check.] Next, make the DOS icon in the program manager run the batch file, and you're set. -- Neil Erdwien Kansas State University neil@ksuvm.ksu.edu

It is a COMMAND.COM replacement that eliminates the need for programs like DOSEDIT, CED, ANARKEY... And it is smaller and has more powerful commands than command.com as well (while being compatible). 4DOS works just fine in multiple WINDOWS 3.0 Windows (I am doing it just this minute). -- Tom Almy toma@sail.labs.tek.com <<< Note new address Standard Disclaimers Apply

I heartily recommend BOTH programs (and really wish the 4DOS folks would get together with Steve Calwas and combine the two into a new 4DOS version or something). ANARKEY is specifically a keyboard enhancer, and the "MEGA" key is unmatched. 4DOS also lacks a built-in key redefinition mechanism (yes, I know about the fakes possible with *ANSI.SYS). <4DOS works just fine in multiple WINDOWS 3.0 Windows (I am doing it just <this minute). Excellent product. Right up there with ... NOSHARE perhaps? <Tom Almy -- ___Mark S.

Would the person who maintains the FAQ (thanks) please add this to the FAQ? One easy solution is to get rid of NDOSEDIT *and* command.com, and replace them with 4Dos. 4dos is a command.com replacedment, and features, among lots of other things, a command line editor. (other things include filename completion, moving files, aliases, powerful batch language etc etc.) kartik -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Research Assistant, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-3989 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202
