[comp.os.msdos.apps] Problem with 4dos3.02a

Hi,

I'm having problems ever since I upgraded 4dos.  Under 3.02a applications
which should give me a dos shell crap out with the error:

 4DOS initialization error -- Out of memory

Now, it should be swapping to disk, as I have 4DSHELL=/S:D to swap to disk.
I know there's more memory out there because if I set my comspec to 
c:\command.com instead of c:\4dos.com I don't get any errors.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
CHuck

Dump the 4DSHELL and use something like the following in config.sys:

shell=c:\4dos.com /s:b /p

That will pick the 'best way' swapping.  To force to a specific drive
(like a RAM disk), use /s:dd:\ (to go to d:\, for instance).
