subject: Specific Technical Questions Concerning DRDOS

From: RiverWind 


Greetings,

Well good people, I hate to impose upon you yet again. I have
downloaded a file called "drdos73.exe." I believe that when the
executable is run it will produce multiple installation disks for
DRDOS7.3.

Now then, I am interested in how I would go about tweaking memory
in order to hopefully surpass conventional memory or perhaps use it
more advantageously. You see, MSDOS has its "memmaker" and
"emm386"
with which the machine's memory is maximized as much as possible.
Moreover, PCDOS put out by IBM has its "emm386" and also
"ramboost." Now ramboost is by far one of the best memory
management programs I've ever seen. However, it still seems
restricted to the confines of conventional memory. My question is
this. To what extent, if any, is DRDOS able to circumnavigate this
restriction? For that matter is such a thing even possible?

Lastly, does DRDOS provide any sort of multi-tasking facility which
would allow one to run more than one DOS application at the same
time, like say through a shell feature? Does DRDOS support long
file names? Lastly, what kind of tutorial documentation does it
come with?

Bright Blessings,
RiverWind
