- In general, to install .sys type drivers into an emulated DOS window, you
- need to use the DOS_DEVICE setting in the settings notebook. Don't place
- them in your config.sys or ugly things will happen.
-
- You can still put the .exe in your autoexec.bat. OS/2 never looks at it for
- OS/2 sessions.
-
- [This is only the general way to install these kinds of things. If anyone
- knows any special tricks for using FTP's software feel free to pipe in.]
