Hi Bernd, > * has anyone managed to get SHELLHIGH working for whichever > shell/program? Might be that FreeCOM is simply too large.
And it has only very limited use, given that most of FreeCOM will swap to XMS when available anyway ;-) > * does > http://ericauer.cosmodata.virtuaserver.com.br/soft/specials/cmd.zip work > as primary command processor, being able to load FreeCOM as secondary shell? Finally something I can answer :-D This tiny tool (now also on auersoft.eu again thanks to Tassilo, although the site is still a bit stuck in the past :-)) contains only TWO int 21 calls, which are: (set SP=0x00fc) then use int 21.4a to resize the own MCB of CMD to 352 bytes then call int 21.4b00 using some parameters to run the selected shell, cli, SS=CS SP=0x00fc, sti, repeat The command is "c:\command.com" and the arguments are "c:\ /e:496 /p /msg". There is not much more in the code. I am not sure why I even wrote this thing, maybe some bug in some shell or maybe I wanted a wrapper to be able to exit the shell? Maybe it was to work around problems where it was (although it should not be) possible to exit some shell as I see that one of the two only features of CMD is to loop? :-) Did I answer the question? Not really - CMD is meant to and able to be run as primary shell, but I doubt that it has the purpose to make FreeCOM secondary. Nor does it try to do so in a particularily smooth way.
