dosemu + fdpp: ms-dos command.com does not "find" fdppauto.bat #127

Closed Baron-von-Riedesel closed 4 years ago

Describe the bug command.com from MS-DOS 7.1 (Win98 SE) claims that it cannot find fdppauto.bat

To Reproduce just start dosemu with command.com of MS-DOS 7.1

The problem is most likely due to the standard FDPPAUTO.BAT using LFs instead of the CR/LF combination as EOL markers. If I rewrite the file with a DOS editor, the LFs will be substituted by CR/LF and command.com has no problems running fdppauto.bat anymore.

This is intentional. We provide config.sys and autoexec.bat for other doses. I assume the problem you faced, was caused by manually copying fdppconf.sys to C and renaming it to config.sys, which of course should not be done.

This is intentional. That's a very strange intention IMO.

was caused by manually copying fdppconf.sys to C

No. I did not even mention fdppconf.sys or config.sys in my post. I talked about FDPPAUTO.BAT, which is a parameter to COMMAND.COM (the /k option).

stsp commented 4 years ago

Its a parameter that is set in fdppconf.sys and nowhere else.

Should now be fixed, now command.com from DOS-7.1 writes Incorrect dos version.
