Wengier,


I was thinking maybe there could be a keyboard shortcut to quit and
reload, but I then realized that I can do that myself through
AutoHotkey.

Hi Harry,


I don't really think this will be easy, or even possible without
restarting vDos(-lfn). For example, it will require vDos-lfn to
completely reset/reload the window frame, font, memory settings and so
on. These can only be archived when you restart the vDos-lfn window
itself. In this case I guess you'd better close and restart vDos-lfn
instead.

Wengier,


A thought: a really helpful thing would be the ability to re-load
CONFIG.TXT live, in a running vDosXy. That way I could test different
colors and such almost interactively.

Hi Harry,


There are at least two ways to update vDos-lfn to the latest build,
either automatically or manually.


1. If you want to try update using U2's VDLUPD command, then
"vDosDir=" must be set. It is located near the bottom of the
file XYWWWEB.REG, under the section [vDos-lfn,vDosXy]. Change and save it
and try again. U2 is being maintained by Carl.


2. If you want to update by yourself, simply download the file
vDos-lfn-201511.zip from the following URL. The file is constantly being
updated. Extract the files vDos-lfn.exe and README.TXT from the zip file
and replace the old ones. Then you are done.

Wow! What a question! Who knew that was involved? Lemme look.


There's no entry for vdos. At least a se /vdos/ found no hits.


What should I put in?


I guessed:

vDosDir=c:\dropbox\vdos-lfn


And that made no difference. For some reason, updating is not going well.
I

have to struggle more.
