That wouldnrCOt work. For instance for Arachne the WATTCP.CFG could look like
this:

my_ip = 0.0.0.0
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 0.0.0.0
#
sockdelay=40
hostname=arachne
mss=512

and the nameservers would be configured in ARACHNE.CFG.

Your workaround would configure nameservers in WATTCP.CFG too. But this could
mess things up. It shouldnrCOt configure a nameserver if there is none
configured in WATTCP.CFG.

Unfortunately M2WAT.COM by cordata also does not get this right.

David Dunfields DHCP program from
http://classiccmp.org/dunfield/dos/index.htm

does it correctly. There is even an option /F where you can choose to "fill-in
config items not supplied in original filerCL.

The program is a bit hard to figure out, because the description in DCHP.TXT
is not correct.

Instead of
DHCP P=60 /W='C:\FDOS\WATTCP.CFG'  /M='C:\FDOS\MTCP.CFGrCy
you would need to write:
DHCP P=60 /W C:\FDOS\WATTCP.CFG
DHCP P=60 /M C:\FDOS\MTCP.CFG

(You can not write the /M option and the /W option in the same line.)

It does get the environment variable MTCPCFG from AUTOEXEC.BAT, but it
doesnrCOt get the environment variable WATTCPCFG.

So
DHCP /M
would work, while
DHCP /W
wouldnrCOt.

But anyway you can work around this and the program works fine. Unfortunately
there is no source file on the website and no license, so it couldnrCOt be
bundled with FreeDOS.

cheers
Ulrich
