I have been using Esix with a copy of AT&T Simul-Task 386 (ie. VPIX) I have had no problem. Except the mouse does not seem to work. I have a microsoft bus mouse. I do have the mouse working with X, so I know unix can find the mouse. I would be gratefull for any help! Also, I tried running the Microsoft DOS5.0 upgrade to my dos under vpix.. It worked except "redir.exe" will not run. It complains about the version of dos then exits. Anyone have any better luck? For now I changed back to my old 3.30 rev of dos. :-) --- Eric Porter --- wb3ffv!grout!ejp

Have you checked the vpix_config file to make shure that the mouse /dev/mouse line is present? >Also, I tried running the Microsoft DOS5.0 upgrade to my dos under vpix.. >It worked except "redir.exe" will not run.

For now I changed back to >my old 3.30 rev of dos. :-) Go ahead and just after the upgrade process, but before any kind of reboot use the "setver" command and make the effective version for redir.exe a legal older value. Frome then on if you load the version table from config sys (something that the install program does for you by default) it will lie to redir.exe and things should be fine (er, ah, at least the bomb shoudl go off later 8-) > >--- >Eric Porter --- wb3ffv!grout!ejp -- Robert C.

For now I changed back to > my old 3.30 rev of dos. :-) Don't tell anyone that I know about this* :-) but setver might solve your problem. I have just finished updating our MS-DOS reference card to 5.0 and noticed this cute comand call setver. It is designed to lie to a program about what version of DOS you are running. You will also probably have to add setver.sys to your config.sys file. * We are really UNIX people and I wouldn't want anyone to find out I know something about MS-DOS. Sort of like knowing Cobol and claiming you are a programmer. :-) -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O. Box 55549, Seattle, WA 98155 (206)FOR-UNIX uunet!pilchuck!ssc!fyl or fyl@ssc.wa.com (206)527-3385
