WinDOS-v1.05/floppy (1.44MByte) the real LongFileName(LFN) support for Dos - With FIXED CD-ROM SUPPORT!...
!!! It works with F-Prot for dos !!!
Updated February 2004
Hi!
This is WinDOS v1.05/floppy - the Real LFN support for DOS ...
(=the minimal set of files of Windows95 OSR2.0 + Amd-K6 update files)
(Amd-K6 update: ios.vxd and int13.vxd ....)
Fixed bug when 2 CD-ROMs were found !
Fixed bug with CD-ROM, when it was used by some programs that support LFN !
Found bug with real floppy drives, when booted from CD-ROM:
Using them with programs that support LFN may crash sytem!
**********************************************************************
It was made by the following steps:
1) Format a floppy disk UNDER WINDOWS!!! (Right-Click...)
2) sys c: a:
3) copy all other files to the floppy except: io.sys and command.com
4) boot from the floppy !!! (!?IMPORTANT!?)
5) write-protect it ...
/if You want to make WinDOS using Win98 You will have to
put UDF.VXD and NTKERN.VXD to the VMM32 subdir too,
but in this case F-Prot should not work with LFN
(I don't know why.).../
**********************************************************************
It was tested on:
PC:
iP233,32M,FAT16-820MB.............................OK
AmdK6-2,128M,FAT16/32-40GB........................OK
Amd 850MHz,128M,FAT32-40GB........................OK
AmdK6-2,128M,40 and 60GB/FAT32....................OK
SoftWare:
F-Prot3.14b(DOS) - Antivirus software.............OK
NDN2.11b/DPMI32 - Necromancer's Dos Navigator.....OK
Dos Navigator Open Source 2.3.0/DPMI..............FAILED
**********************************************************************
How to put on a Bootable CD ???
==============
Use WinImage 6.x (www.winimage.com) to make an .IMA image file
from the floppy and burn it to a Boot-CD with Nero (some newer versions)...
You can also put on this cd's data part the:
NDN(like DOS Navigator but with LFN support) available at:
http://www.dn.id.ru/
http://www.necromancer.newmail.ru/
http://www.shomonopoly.com/arctest/
and
F-Prot Antivirus for DOS:
www.f-prot.com
IMPORTANT!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This "Virtual OS" was "made" by only selecting the minimal set of
Microsoft Windows 95 OSR 2.0 and AmdK6-UPdate system files and
these files were not modified in any ways !!!
Only one binary file is in this pack, that isn't part of Windows95:
it is the "Pseudo KERNEL 386"... (krnl386.exe)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only idea to prepare WinDOS , it was that people to have a ONE-Floppy OS
to RECOVER their data without loosing the Long File Names if their Windows
was destroyed by any W32 viruses and they want to disinfect/repaire the
operating system without reinstalling it...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(the only way to clean an infected windows is to disinfect it's files,
while windows is not runing...)
Enjoy...
