- A little off the subject: I use PCTools by CP all the time with no
- problems. Are these the utilities to which you are referring?
- Also, Under OS/2, DOS sessions may have access to HPFS partitions, and
- HPFSA02b.ZIP off of hobbes.nmsu.edu:/os2/dos
-
- will let you read and write to HPFS partitions under a booted DOS.
-
- As for how to run executor... Other People have posted the correct
- solution. Make sure your DOS settings reflect your commandline switches.
- Make sure background execution is on, etc etc.
