   My guess would be that this resulted from trying to copy multiple
source files to a single destination.  DOS may have assumed you were
combining files.  When the COPY command is used to combine files,
DOS assumes the /A option, and treats the files as ASCII text files,
ending the copy operation at the first <Ctrl-Z> in the source file.
   This is from my DOS handbook, but if I'm wrong here, someone please
let me know...

RC Carman

p.s. Try it this way:   copy zombies.* *.wp0 (This will throw errors
                                              up on the screen, but
                                              the files are copied fine)
     Or better:         copy zombies.wp a:\zombies.wp0   ;-)

Access the floppy disk drive using BIOS services,
instead of DOS (this will override the Abort, Retry
and Ignore, which is a DOS error handler).  Then you
would see if the READ (I guess it would have to be READ)
passed or failed.  If it fails, you would pass an
ERRORLEVEL code to the batch file when you exit your
program (with a dos service call).  You'd then
use a if errorlevel=? statement within your batch file
to do the appropriate actions.

In Assembly language this would be a fairly short program.

Hope this helps...

Basically this means that you've got a protected mode program that is trying
to access memory that it does not own.  If you have other programs that use
extended memory, then try removing these.

Hmmm... I have set up several 676MB ESDI drives (using, I think, the
Ultrastor 12 controller) which run just fine as one partition under
DOS.  I think the controller patches the drive table and uses 16KB
clusters?  Not sure of the details, but it works whatever it does.

Anyway, partitions up to at least 676 MB _are_ possible under DOS.
Probably beyond, but my personal experience ends at 676.

Beg to differ.  It is *possible* to have one very large partition.  For
example, I have a Fujitsu 1.2 gig drive at home on an Always IN2000 SCSI
controller--and my partition is in execess of 1 gig.

Of course, this may be due to the controller more than the DOS filesystem
(regardless, DOS's FDISK "sees" the entire gigabyte).  I have heard that
there are problems with large EDSI drive/controller combinations--but that
there problems were usually "fixable" with a disk drive driver software
such as Disk Manager version 5.0.

The CPU has one interrupt line only, so to manage several interrupts
a chip named 8259 is given the job to prioritise them and pass on the most
urgent one through itself to the CPU. The chip supports max 8 interrupts.
On an PC/XT one has only 8 interrupts, 0..7
In 286 or better machines two of these chips are put one after the other,
ie. cascaded. The second 8259 manages the interrupts 8..15, and sends
them to the first 8259 through interrupt line 2.
Normally, the smaller the interrupt number, the higher it's priority.
But, because of cascading, interrupts 8..15 have a interrupt priority
between those of int1 and int3.
Actually, you have only 15 interrupts.. it's like plugging an 8
socket extension cord into an other 8 socket extension cord - you
lose one socket for the connection, as can be seen on the line
describing int9.

Subject: ONE gigabyte partition possible under MSDOS???
Date: 7 Oct 92 21:27:03 GMT
Organization: Lehigh University

My friend has this gigabyte HD and he just wants one partition on it. The
drive is SCSI and the controller is on an EISA bus. For now, he has a primary
part. of 417mb via FDISK, and the rest (~5xx mb) is partitioned as an extended
part. via a Utility program.
   So is it possible to have just one partition. I eas thinking maybe we can
make the primary partition REALLY small, and so the extended part. will
relatively be the whole disk. Now to make the computer boot off the 2nd
partition...I don't know how. I do know that a program called FDformat18 can
format disks so that if they are left in the drive and they don't contain an
O/S, the bootcode will then boot code will then tell the computer to boot off
the HD. Maybe the same boot-code alteration can be done to the primary
partition. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Perhaps that is a limitation of the SCSI controller.  I can say from 
personal experience that it is possible to have at least a 700 Mb ESDI
with one partition using the whole 700 Mb.  So it can't be a limitation
of DOS 5.0, which was the original question.

Hello all,

       4) Non-Windows based.
       5) Uses colors (unlike TED)
       6) Macros (can be limited, basic ones)
       7) Fast startup (unlike VED or demo version of Multi-Edit)

   The reason?  Well, I am developing an in-house application and I would
rather not re-invent the wheel (for the 3 billionth time) as far as an

I have a (probably too :-) long PATH, and the final path
gets truncated. I assumed that this was a lack of environment
space and expanded it using the command.com /e option. However
this made no difference.

Is the PATH stored as part of the environment ?
Can the maximum length of storage for PATH be increased ?
How ??
