On 2018 May 26 07:54:58, you wrote to me:
on our OS/2 installation(s) we have run 2gbfix which intercepts the
av free space call and forces it to 2Gig IF the free space call
returns m 2Gig... we need this for quite a few old DOS programs... it
didn't hel allfix but we found another way to deal with that...
Yeah, I found that running 2gbfix kills the VX00.SYS driver that comes
in SIO2K as well as SIO 1.60d on my virtualized ArcaOS system.
that's strange... i've not seen that on eCS or Warp but i have seen binkd and allfix tie each other up... that was with the EMX flavor of binkd, IIRC... i switched to another native compiled flavor of binkd and don't have those problems any more... the problem was exhibited as a freeze in both programs... if i exited one, the other one resumed processing...
Hence, the reason I run the OS/2 native version of FrontDoor and it
works just fine.
every once in a while, i'll fire up the native FD/2 and let it run for a while... it still loads my DOS RA in similar fashion as the DOS FD does but the
script flow is a little different... but i'm not one to do things the normal way anyway... eg: i process dobbs.bat and dobbs.cmd as a data file ;)
