      In a message dated 09-27-14, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:              GD Ed,               HG> With my first PC (AT) I received the XTree program that now in        HG> OS/2 is named ZTree. That's the only file manager I use. I have              Forgot to mention that it's also available for Windows as ZTreeWin.              EV> Will take a look at what the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT has in it.       EV> IIRC PC-DOS 7.0 didn't Erase the MS-DOS 5.0 files in the Directory,       EV> it added its own file and I'd think put its files into CONFIG.SYS       EV> and AUTOEXEC.BAT during 7.0's Install .              AFAIK PC-DOS didn't change anything in the CONFIG.SYS nor AUTOEXEC.BAT.       As for the IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS I don't know because I never installed       PC-DOS over a previously installed operating system.              EV> I had to grab that box since I've heard lots of good comments about       EV> 7.0 in BBS messages I've read.              After the bad info about MSDOS 4 I never considered another M$ DOS.              EV> And then those 'features' are included in the next edition of the       EV> software, and the next, and the next, etc.              I don't agree with that. Apparently M$ did something when they released       MSDOS 5 because it, to my knowledge, received the bad publicity of v4.              EV> In Windows 3.1 I didn't have to click Start to Shut it Down, IIRC       EV> I would Right Click on the Left side of the Title Bar and select       EV> Close. I think a Double-Click on the Right side of the Title Bar did       EV> the same thing.              I don't remember much of Win 3.1.              EV> My OS/2 Version 1.2 book shows Right-Clicking on a blank space and       EV> choosing the Shut Down option in a Drop Down Box.              In later versions of OS/2 there is a shutdown icon in the menu bar.              EV> I try not to use the Start Button if I can do something with a       EV> keyboard shortcut. But that's Me.              If my memory serves me correctly there have been instructions published       how to create a shutdown file and via an icon on the desktop or menu bar       to close down automatically without extra questions. It also closes down       open programs automatically.              73 de Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * 200-year old champagne and beer, found on the Aland Islands.                     --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2        * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
