1. Which is the best anonymous ftp site for Windows 3.0 stuff?
2. I like to open a window to DOS (command.pif) which just has the DOS
prompt. However, I'd like to load colorizer/keyboard enhancer/clock
TSRs in this window so I have a batch file, windos.bat, which starts
all these things. I can't seem to start it automatically. Obviously,
I can't make COMMAND.COM the first line in the batch file and just run
the batch. If I run the batch file with the "don't close when
finished" option, the windos just says "Type control-C when finished
with your TSRs" or something like that. Is there a way to
automatically run that batch file when I open the COMMAND window?
3. Has anyone gotten Windows 3.0 working with a Panasonic 1124 yet?
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

PC Magazine had a nice routine to help with loading TSR's in the dos box .. actually their purpose was to change prompts. Make a pif file that executes Command.com. On the line that asks for command line arguments write: E:512 /c <path>file.bat The E:512 just increases the enviornment size... I don't think you need it unless you change the prompt... I do. The /c <path>file.bat tells command.com to execute the stated batch file when it loads. (you can call the batch file anything you want). The batch file contains: echo off SideKick.exe cossession.exe ......or other TSR's %comspec% That should run your dos box with all the TSR's you want. I have not tried it to run TSR's though... I just use it to change my promt to something that reminds me I'm in Windows. Hope this helps! Dave Traub DTRAUB@beach.gal.utexas.edu
