| 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?
