- Solution #1:
- a. copy EXDEMOS?.HFV to EXDEMOS?.OLD, and delete EXDEMOS1.HFV;
- b. make a large Executor volume EXDEMOS1.HFV with MKVOL.EXE;
- c. copy the contents of EXDEMOS2.HFV to "EXDEMOS1.HFV"
- d. copy EXDEMOS2.OLD to EXDEMOS2.HFV, and repeat (c);
-
- Solution #2
- a. call your new executor volume EXUSER.HFV
