Then lets correct it. :-) ItrCOs pretty easy, as I showed in my last mail.

ThatrCOs even easier. :-)

Yes, the following line (which skipped all the drivers)
if "%config%rCL=="4" GOTO END
was left in AUTOEXEC.BAT although the "no driversrCL option was changed to
config 3 in FDCONFIG.SYS. That may have been the root of all evilrCa
At the moment both options are doing the opposite of what they say they do.
Instead of loading DOS low with some drivers, option 4 loads DOS high with no
drivers. Nobody complained about that, so here is another suggestion:
How about DROPPING option 4 (SOME DRIVERS) completely? Was it ever useful?
People can always hit F8 for singlestepping...
I suggest to keep the NO DRIVERS option though, which should be exactly that:
No drivers, no memory managers, DOS not loaded high.
Dropping option 4 and keeping a clean option3 would mean deleting everything
with a 4 in FDCONFIG.SYS and removing the 3 from the HIMEMX line. And changing
the line in AUTOEXEC.BAT to
if "%config%rCL=="3" GOTO END
If this is too radical, see the suggestion in my last mail...
