Jose,
What you wrote sounds familiar to experiences I had with Pictview.
The problem I had was not FreeDOS related but something was odd about
Pictview not finding the file. I tried relative paths, absolute paths

Thanks for the update and of course the editor.
I tried it with dosemu in Linux and I'm pleased to report that the
navigational key strokes all seem to work.

Hi Bernd,
yes, would you like me to convert your example to FreeDOS syntax?
Does the following also work?:
[grub]
SHELL\C:\BOOT\GRUB\GRUB.EXE
It tried it and it works,
Hope I do it correct:
menu 1) GRUB
menu 2) FreeDOS
menudefault=1
menucolor=7,0
1?INSTALL=C:\BOOT\GRUB\GRUB.EXE
2?DOS=HIGH

Hi all,
1) Is it a bad practice to use the include monochrome area switch with
MS-DOS and its EMM386?

I don't know specifically what support you need. If I did I might be

Hi friends, in a previous email, Bernd suggested that a short
explanation on how set up a DOS GRUB would be nice.
I'm not a professional writer but I'm pleased to try and document what I
understand for others in the form of a how-to.
As far as boot managers go, setting up a DOS based GRUB is v
I'd like to share with you all some information about a super easy to
