: For all the ppl having problems w/ reading Mac CDs and such under windoze95,
: there is a decently simple solution... before we get to that, there is something
: everyone using win95 should know... win95 is just another application that can
: be started and stopped whenever from DOS7. The logos.sys file in the windows
: directory contains the shutdown screen for win95 which HIDES the dos prompt.
: ie... when you "shut down" from win95, you just ended the win95 app and went
: back to DOS7. Typing C:\mode co80 will get rid of that screen. This takes me
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not quite...Windows 95 DOS 7 does not load COMMAND.COM under WIN.COM! To
get that behavior, you must put BootGUI=0 in your msdos.sys. (And if you
want Windows to load automatically, put win in your autoexec.bat.)
Also, if you delete of rename the logo?.sys files in your windows
directory, you will have no shutdown screens; it will take you to a dos
prompt.
: to the whole point of writing this... go ahead and load the drivers for the cd
: rom drive and the mouse drivers in the config.sys file and autoexec.bat files.
: Win95 will not use those drivers -- it replaces them with "32bit clean" drivers.
: Just remember, Win95 is EXACTLY like win3.1 and win3.11 in that it is a
: make-believe OS. MS just has DOS7 start up win95 automatically via a hidden file called msdos.sys. Change "boot GUI=1" to "boot GUI=0" to start up at the
: command prompt.
No hidden command prompt; more like SHELL=C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM in config.sys.
