Re: windows drive letter mapping - CAE

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

NT allows different AUTOEXEC/CONFIG for each VDM - it's in the Properties of
the shortcut to the DOS program; actually in the .PIF I believe. I'm not
sure about running another DOS altogether. Anyway, I think we're straying
from the topic...

> A "minor" difference I recall from OS/2 was that it was possible to have
different settings (e.g., a unique AUTOEXEC.BAT) for every virtual DOS
machine and you could have some large number of VDMs. This included running
a different DOS altogether (i.e., different version, different vendor).
