Finally, here's a question that fits the charter of comp.unix.msdos - an item about running msdos applications under unix! Please direct followups to comp.unix.msdos! Just got a new version of the Prodigy software from the Sears folks in the mail. I fired up DosMerge with the -aega and -adcom2 args (which give the dos process direct control of my ega card and modem card without routing their i/o through unix virtual devices) and installed the software upgrade. Then when I tried to start prodigy the screen blanked and just sat there for a few days :-(. Naturally, the moment you tell the Prodigy customer service people you're not a PC, they have no answers. So, bearing in mind that this is exactly the same way I used to start up and access Prodigy under version 2.1 of their software.... has anyone else gotten version 3.1 to work under Merge under unix? Yet?
