Re: vDOS-lfn.151 FONT teething problems

Hi Bill,

You are right that if you don't define C:=C:\ then C:\ will be default to the vDos(-lfn) folder. I guess that C: being defined to be C:\ is only for the reason of consistency with the actual Windows drive, but this is not at all necessary for vDos(-lfn) to function.

Many thanks, I'll figure it out over the weekend. One question: if I
remove C=C, will C:\ revert to the Vdos folder? This may be a source of
my problems.

Hi Bill,


As with the earlier vDosXy, you need to use "rem" instead of
";" to comment out directives in vDos-lfn's config.txt. You see
error messages generally because there are errors in the configuration
file. In the vDos-lfn for XyWrite installations made by Kari, the
configuration files like config.txt are automatically backed up to for
example config.bak, config.ba1, config.ba2. One solution is to restore
the configuration file to some earlier version in this case. Hope this
helps.

Now on startup I'm getting the message

What I did was change consolas to lucon, but when I tried to change

back to the original line the error remained. At that point, the

program is unstable. Xy4 reports disk overflow at once and the

program soon freezes. OK, I fixed that, I did something really dumb,


used ; to comment out instead of rem. But I'm still getting disk full


messages and startup.int isn't automatically invoked.
