Dit you use a binary copy: copy /b file prn:

Some motherboards have a DIP siwtch that allows you to disable the

I'll just take their password out and leave them a note that they need

DR-DOS reports itself as ver 3.31 like Compaq DOS 3.31

Personally I would say that SCSI EXPRESS sounds like it isn't smart enough
since DOS versions 3.31 and greater support over 32MB per partition.  I don't
know if the manufacturer is willing to correct that but you might try.  Maybe
lie and say that you have Compaq DOS 3.31 if they don't want to support DRDOS.

Probably not because the command line expansion is done by COMMAND.COM
before the system call UNLINK is performed. DOS then tries to delete the file
LPT1 but starts its search at the internal files, i.e. CON,PRN, AUX etc inluding
LPT1. 

Sorry.
What you can do is directly patch your dir's directory entry. Norton could help.

Subject: write protected hard drive
Date: 16 Nov 92 14:45:51 GMT
Organization: Acadia University

Hi all,

I just bought a WesternDigital hard drive, supposed to format to 203Mg,
don't remember the exact drive model.

My question is " Has anyone ever had a case where your hard drive says
it is write-protectd? "

I  installed the drive the other day.
Ran fdisk and dos format on it.
Started loading software, but had to leave the machine for a while.  I shut it
off, left, and when I  returned, tried to resume loading my software onto 
the disk.
Problem was that the disk was write-protectd.
I tried to re-format the disk but could not.  It would verify the disk but
when it tried to write the system files to the disk it would say the disk
was write-protected.
I tried fdisk on it again.  I could remove the partitions, but when exiting
fdisk the program would hang while trying to access the disk, presumeable
it was trying to erase the information about the partitions from the disk
and could not access it.  The drive light would come on for quite some time
flash off for a second and then come on again.  That is when I decided it 
had hung...

When I try to copy, use dos more, delete, etc. on the drive I get the
standard error message you would get if you tried any of these commands
on a write-protectd floppy. ( except, that is for the copy; I can't 
even copy from the hard disk to floppy.)

Any Ideas ???

Thanks in Advance.

DOS uses the / and - for parsing command-line switches.  I don't know if there
are other valid switch characters.   It's a nuisance when you want to use a
dash in a file name, so I suggest that people use an underscore _ instead of a
dash - .

Why DOS does this:  You can call batch files with multiple parameters not in
any particular order, and the batch file can figure out what they mean.  Here's
one of my batch files that uses this feature.

----BACK.BAT----------------------------------------
@echo off
cls
c:
goto START

BACK.BAT Documentation

For doing full or incremental, daily backups of the whole hard drive
or of only the data subdirectory.

Command      Translates into
--------------------------------------
back      -- backup c:\data\*.* a: /m/a/s
back /r   -- backup c:\*.*      a: /m/a/s
back /n   -- backup c:\data\*.* a: /s
back /r/n -- backup c:\*.*      a: /s

The parameters are mnemonics for Root (/r) as opposed to c:\data and
New (/n) as opposed to the default of a daily, incremental backup.

:START
  set param=/m/a
  set dir=\data
  for %%p in (%0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) do if %%p == n set param=
  for %%p in (%0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) do if %%p == r set dir=
if %param%. == . goto BACKUP
  cls
  echo Insert Last Backup Diskette(s) for Your Data
  echo Or Hit "Enter", Wait, then hit "A" (Abort) to By-Pass Backup Procedure
:BACKUP
  backup c:%dir%\*.* a: %param%/s
:NOBACKUP
  cd \
  set param=
  set dir=
-----end BACK.BAT-------------------------------------

I can call it with or without parameters, those params don't have to be
separated by spaces, nor does there have to be a space between the batch file
name and the parameters.

The last issue of PC Mag has a batch file in it that uses this feature to
reverse strings, but you have to control the number and placement of
parameters.  If you can do that, you can do a lot of things that are much more
complex than anything my batch file does.

Hope this answers your question.  --jim

No.  DOS takes the next "word" after the > or >> symbol and uses that as
the filename to redirect to.  This is more or less how Unix shells work.

echo hello world >temp
echo >temp hello world

These do about the same thing, but the spaces appear in different
places, since DOS does not remove spaces.

>"echo a > temp b >> temp" is undefined, I think.

I think DOS will accept the last redirect on the line, so >temp is
ignored, and >>temp causes an append to file 'temp'.

Hi,

Does any product exist that provides virtual memory under Extended-DOS?

Is it correct to say that most DOS extenders just allow access to the
RAM in the machine ("break the 640K barrier"), but don't provide
virtual memory?

We have workstation application which is multi-megabyte in size when
linked (4-6MB depending on machine). The data in memory can also be
extremely large (1-???MB depending on job). We believe it is portable
enough that it should compile using one of the 32 bit C/C++ compilers
available now (Watcom, Metaware, etc) and Extended-DOS. However, it
seems imperative that some kind of virtual memory facility be available
for this to be feasible, since PCs with 8MB of RAM seems to be regarded
as pretty well spec'd up, and that would be just enough space to load
the OS and the executable, ie, no data.

We are aware that Windows 3.0+ will solve our virtual memory problem,
but we use a home grown GUI which we don't want to replace with Windows
GUI just yet. If we can get over this problem, we have something that
runs on the PC now, and we can work on our Windows version.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi all
Ok so no one will addmit to having the souce code for a mouse driver, so here
is another mousey question.

How does a mouse driver draw it cursor on the screen ?  Does it use a
nice safe DOS function or does it have to do the bit manipulation itself ?
  I know int 33H function 09 sets the cursor shape but the drawing I
can not find !.
