THe 128 byte limit is built into COMMAND.COM and isn't easy to change
without changing to another shell, such as 4DOS.  Even so, you would
have to modify COMMAND.COM which will cause you the same problems as
an external shell would.

I ran into this problem as well, but fortunatly I have 8MB of
RAM on my machine with EMM386 handling 2MB of RAM.  I then
use the /E switch on MSCDEX when I load it in 
high memory.  The effect of this is to place a rather large
section of MSCDEX into the 2MB of expanded RAM and the executable
object in the UMB area freeing up my base memory.  I have been
running in this mode for 3 weeks and havn't had a problems.

I havn't found any documentation on MSCDEX that tells what the
command line options are, but I could see that it would
except a /E and so I tried it to see what would happen, it worked.

As far as I know, no such utility exists.  A friend and I at one stage
considered writing such a beast, but it seemed way too much trouble.
Some of the problems were:
  * Merging 12bit and 16bit FATs
  * Error correcting on bad sectors written
  * Changing from n-sector clusters to 2n-sector clusters when merging,
    and vice-versa when splitting
  * Coping with unexpected power-off
  * etc etc etc

Check if there are any descript.ion files inside.
If you use del /q/y/z/x <name of directory> you should not have

On my Setup disk I found the SEMS.SYS driver.  It is appearantly used

include it in my CONFIG.SYS file, it does not seem to find any
"pages" of EMS, but it does appear to be existing in my upper memory

used to get access to the upper memory area?  If so what switches
must it be called with.

  No flames intended and I would very much like a response from the
Novell/DRI people to this, but I find the above highly unlikely. I have
intentionally (see below) completely (0 bytes free) filled up my SSTORed
D partition many times without any problems. Like another poster, I have
the original DR DOS 6.0 version (i.e. no (Dec'91 or MS-Windows 3.1 or
Apr'92) updates).

[Why did I intentionally fill up my SSTORed partition? I did it to
reproduce the "CHKDSK reports '... bytes in SuperSTOR reserved units'
(or similar)" "problem". Problem between quotes, because this is, I
think, normal CHKDSK behaviour when the SSTORed partition becomes full
and (for a compression factor of less than 2:1) the CHKDSK numbers *can
not* "add-up" anymore, so the difference becomes "SuperSTOR reserved
units" (other utilities (like PC Tools' DISKFIX) will see these as "bad
blocks").]

Date: Tue, 6 Oct 1992 13:24:46 GMT

I don't know if this is the right group for this, but here goes anyway.

I've been playing around with some of the DOS commands, seeing what the
effects of piping and redirection can have on them. The manuals usually 
give a simple example or two, so in an effort to learn more, I tried
all the different things I could think of, using some safe commands, like
TYPE, MORE, etc.

At some point, I accidently piped the MORE command through a non-existent
command (I was meaning to redirect to a test file and hit the wrong symbol).
So what I typed was MORE|test. This is supposed to pipe the output of the
MORE command into the test command, which naturally doesn't exist.

I thought that I should get some type of error message, but instead the
end result of this was that I lost 2k of disk space on my HD. I played 
with this a few times, and lost about 8k in all. I can't find any files
that are being created, and can't see where I'm losing the space at.

I've got an 80Meg drive, with about 35 Meg free, so a loss of 8k is no
big deal. What I want to know, though, is why piping MORE through a
non-existent command ends up eating up drive space, without actually 
creating a file, and just where is this drive space coming from. Am I
appending garbage to a file somewhere, or creating a file somewhere 
without getting a directory entry, or what? And although its not really
that important (as far as I know right now), is it possible to recover
the drive space I've wasted?

If anybody has any ideas on this, I'd really appreciate hearing them.
Thanks...

There are 2 accepted ways to get a postscript file to print on
a HPGL printer: buy a postscript cartridge, if one is available
for that printer; buy a software package to "translate" the file.

Unlike a regular graphics or text file, which is printed using
bit-map or character-generator graphics, PostScript (PS) is
actually a programming language, and PS printers are really just
a 680x0 computer with no keyboard or display, attached directly
to a standard laser engine.  This computer/printer downloads
the program from your computer and interprets (runs) it to
generate the bit-map for the printer-portion.  (Sounds schizo, eh?)

Since your printer doesn't have the 680x0 computer inside, you
have to find some other way of interpreting the PS program.

Are you sure your new com2 is a 16550A and not a 16550?
My experience is that OS/2 2.0 denies to use a 16550 in
buffered mode  (you may know that the
16550 without the "A" has bugs at "low" baud rates).
And without buffered mode baud rates of 19200 or higher I guess
would be very unreliable...

Is there a print utility known which prints binary files in the
background (similar to DOS PRINT, but not restricted to text files)?
Suggestions welcome,

greetings,
	i have been using umb_drvr 5.22 in enhanced mode with no problems
and NO need to exclude anything. I even load himem.sys high with no problems
It's great because, I don't have to use emm386 in order to have UMBs. Also
with umbdrvr I get a total of 160K UMB space, of which 78+K is left free
for windows to use for its purposes. (my system 486sx, OPTi 482,482 chipset
8 MEG RAM). UMB_DRVR automatically excludes some areas and identifies others
as video or bios rom.
