Appendix B / Configuring YOur System
pathname specifies the command processor to substitute as the
top-level processor.
Example:
5hell=\bln\command.com /e:3~~~
a:\bin /p
uses the COMMAND.COM shell in the \ BIN directory with an
environment size of 3000 bytes.
Sample CONFIG.SYS File
A typical CONFIG.8YS file might look like this:
buffer5=1~
file5=12
device=\bin\network.5Y5
break=on
5hell=a:\bln\command.com
/e:3~~~
a:\bin
/p
la5tdrive=e
This file sets the number of disk buffers to 10 and the maximum
number of open files to 12. It also tells MS-DOS to search for the
pathname \ BIN \ NETWORK to find the device you are adding
to the system. The file is usually supplied on disk with your
device. Be sure you save the device file in the directory that you
specify with the DEVICE command.
The file also sets the MS-DOS command EXEC to the COM-
MAND.COM file located on disk in Drive A in the \BIN direc-
tory. The
IE
switch sets the size of the environment to 3000
bytes. The A:\BIN tells COMMAND.COM where to look for
itself when it needs to be reread from disk. The
IP
switch tells
COMMAND.COM that it is the first program running on the
system so that it can process the MS-DOS EXIT command. (See
COMMAND in Part 2 for more information on the command
processor.)
The last logical drive on the system is Drive E, unless you have
added an external logical device, using DRIVER.SYS. (See
Appendix C for more information on DRIVERSYS.)
