I am having compatibility problems between 4DOS 3.03 and PC-Shell from PC-Tools V6. If I try to install the PC-Shell resident with the /RT switch, then hot key in and try to execute *any* DOS command, I get an error message of, "Can't save the PC-Shell memory image file. Requires 600K of disk space to use." This error is not documented in my manuals. Besides which, I have over 1 meg free space on the swap drive. If I load PC-Shell as an application from the DOS prompt, it can execute any command. I know it is just the two programs, when PC-Shell is resident. I've followed the troubleshooting sections of both manuals, and have succeeded only in isolating the problem to this. I would like to be able to hot key into PC-Shell to execute commands, and I want 4DOS commands (needless to say, it works fine with COMMAND.COM). Has anybody duplicated these problems, and found a solution, hopefully in the configuration? I've tried different combinations, but nothing seems to work. This is on a 8088 with 640K, swapping to hard disk. Thank you. -- "I grok its fullness..." //\\ Myk (mcsmit@watmath.uwaterloo.ca) "...And its funny always!" //\\ I disclaim all responsibility...
