Necromancer's DOS Navigator Frequently Asked Questions

Q What if i want to join the project?

A If you want to join the project, you should e-mail Author of NDN, and tell your possibilities. If you want to exchange source codes, or something else, just e-mail author : necromancer@hotmail.ru.


Q What if I want to use different versions of archivators under windows and dos (rar and winrar for example) ?

A Use this .bat file to solve this problem:
 

@REM RAR executing under windows and dos
if .%WINDIR%.==.. goto DOS
<YourPathToWinRAR>winrar.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto END
:DOS
<YourPathToDosRAR>rar.exe  %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
:END
 
Just replace lines in braces with your path names.


Q Why new NDN is copying files slower than previous version under Ms Windows, Os/2 and others multitasking systems ?

A Because of improved time slices in new version, NDN during copying gives system resources for windows, to make windows work faster while copying. If you want NDN to work as previous versions, just turn off time slices : Options, Configuration, Startup/ShutDown,

Timeslicing options
[ ] DOS Idle (Int28)
[ ] Int 2Fh (1680)
