DOS4GW

*********** IMPORTANT For DOS and LAN users (non-Native versions) ********************

You must make sure the supplied DOS4GW.EXE is in your PATH. We are also including with this distribution three utility programs for DOS4GW as well as a short text file DOS4GW.DOC which describes their use. These files will be placed in your program directory by the installation program. You should move them to whatever location you desire.

Because of the way the DOS4GW 386 DOS extender works - the maximum allowable filePro command line has been reduced from 127 characters (the maximum allowable under DOS) to 120 characters. This involves all command lines, whether run from a DOS prompt, or system command, or menu, or batch file, which run filePro versions 4.5 through 4.8 programs. It does not affect command lines that run other programs.

 

Note: The above does not apply for Windows Native versions of filePro. If you are using these versions, the DOS4GW program and related documentation can be removed. Non-Native distribution was discontinued with version 5.0
