You need to simply create a dos boot disk and boot it from the A: drive
from a cold or reset condition. To enter DOS mode upon boot up press F8 and
you
will get a menu and select DOS mode. This will most likely solve all your
problems.
Don't attempt to boot dos from WIN95/98 or attempt to use a DOS box or DOS
full
screen mode when using these types of programs.
If you must use a DOS boot disk do this:
1. Load DOS from a cold boot or a reset boot with the boot disk in drive A:.
2. Read up on the SYS command also. Old DOS books that you can get at the
library will have plenty of useful information.
Here is the web address for Caldera's DOS:

and here is the FTP site: ftp://ftp.calderathin.com/pub/drdos

HUMM - - ran HamComm and several of the SSTV programs under DOS 6.22 and 7
but did not run into ANY of the problems you describe. Just wondering, do
you have a video accelerator card, and if so do you have hardware
acceleration set to maximum? Do you go into DOS and run HamComm, or do you
exit out of WIN9? and run HamComm? Sounds more like a video problem than
DOS. The other brands of DOS could corrupt your current installation badly
enough to require reloading WIN9?. FYI - - - I always booted to WIN95, then
exited to DOS and ran the programs that used the HamComm interface. I have
a 2 meg Cirrus video card (legacy now) running 32 bit color at 800 X 600
with maximum hardware acceleration.

Hello,
A fellow ham by name of Louie, ZS1HE, is in hospital, paralized from a brain
tumour.
He is trying to communicate by tapping Morse code with his one hand, I need
to know if there is some program I can use in conjunction with a key that I
can run on a 486 laptop with a sound card that will allow him to communicate
with the staff at the hospital.
Please mail me direct, gkuhn@global.co.za
Regards,
G.Kuhn ZS1NZ
