Hmm, maybe it's just that I don't like to give something up that works
fine and that I've spend so many hours in to configure that config.sys
/ autoexec.bat. 
OK, but maybe I do the switch to DOS 7 with the other PC in my home
I'm just doing the install work with.
So how you run that DOS 7? There are so many ways: Shortcuts to "dos
mode", or just click on start/boot to dos mode or whatsoever? I'm
normally quite good at configuring PCs, but I've never touched DOS 7.
So where do you add that multi-config? I know well how to do that in
6.22, is it the same in DOS 7? Do you alter the config.sys or just the
dosstart.bat?
I'd like to get some kind of menu where I can select whether to load
EMM386 or not and all that stuff.
Would be nive if you could explain that what you have on your system
in some detail.

Thanks,

Jan
