Msg: Re: TameDOS for vDOS-lfn

Hi Harry,

For automatic loading of TameDOS 4.41 within vDos-lfn, you don't put the line in the file c:\Windows\system32\autoexec.nt. Rather, you put the line in the file autoexec.txt located in the vDos-lfn directory. The file autoexec.nt is only designed for NTVDM; you need to use autoexec.txt instead for vDos(-lfn). In order to run Tame 4.41 automatically with vDos-lfn, please first make sure you have access to the c:\tame4 directory (assuming that tame-mon.com is located at c:\tame4) from within vDos-lfn by defining for example C:=C:\ (e.g. USE C: C:\) in vDos-lfn's autoexec.txt, and then add the line "C:\tame4\tame-mon.com" (without quotes) in autoexec.txt. This should load TameDOS 4.41 within vDos-lfn, although I am not sure if this version of TameDOS will allow to bring up the said context menu. Hope this helps.

I downloaded TameDOS 4.41 and installed in c:\Tame4

I put this in c:\Windows\system32\Autoexec.nt:

c:\tame4 tame-mon.com

I then ran vDOS-lfn.exe, but what loaded was not Tame, as far as I could tell (my test was to right-click in the body of the document, which in Tame brings up a certain context-menu).

It would be a great help if you could list the steps that would allow me to run Tame 4.41 or Tame 6.0c with vDOS-lfn.

Hi Harry,

Do you have any problem to get TameDOS 4.41 to run? It is downloadable from the following page, and either tame-mon.com or tame-res.com should load under vDos-lfn.

Carl,

It came with Set WP=5 already there.

Anyway, I've gotten rid of the "pesky upper right corner" and all color
problems are solved. I would still like to be able to run TameDOS.

Right now I'm working on getting vDOS-lfn working on my 64-bit version of
Win 7. Didn't work by importing what I had working in the 32-bit version,
so I'm going to do a fresh install for 64-bit then import my customized
config.txt.

The struggle continues, but I'm optimistic.
