Re: [Freedos-user] XMS Manager on '286
Hello 'root', FDXMS286 should have worked on your computer, and HIMEM probably should have refused to load at all, as it currently cannot handle 286. Great to see someone who can actually test/experiment on pre386 equipment. I do not know if there are any plans to make HIMEM compatible with 286 systems, but FDXMS286 is quite old though it should have worked properly. Maybe a developer will be able to solve your problem. regards, Bernd --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

[Freedos-user] TEE truncates file
I have been using Tee to display and save output of a SMTP/POP client named TCPMAIL. One example of command line is: C:\!NET\TCPMAIL.EXE /q /d [EMAIL PROTECTED] |C:\UTLS\TEE .\MAIL.LST and noticed that it truncates the file (that is,some lines - perhaps 10 - that appear last on screen are not saved to file) This does not depend on filename nor on the tcpmail switches I use. If I use standard DOS redirection (> or >>),it saves OK the output (but then I get no screen output,of course). Did anybody notice a similar problem ?

I suggest you try make a boot disk which have only a single CONFIG.SYS. And have only 3 files on it: 1) himem.sys 2) emm386.exe 3) udma2.sys And then the CONFIG.SYS: device=himem.sys device=emm386.exe device=udma2.sys >I read the documentation and couldn't figure out any way of getting it to >work on my system.
