running a dos program

Jed Barton #50085 Hey guys, OK, this may seem like i'm going back to the dark ages, and OK, yeah it sure is. I have to program some radios, and typical motorola they actually have some dos software. Is there any sort of program that can give me a dos prommpt so i can run the software? If not, that's totally ok. Figured i would ask, if jaws 18 would even run with such a program.

Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...> #50095 Any version of Windows including Windows 10 will give you a command prompt, just type "cmd" into the run command. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Jed Barton Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2017 3:11 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: running a dos program Hey guys, OK, this may seem like i'm going back to the dark ages, and OK, yeah it sure is.

Carol Smith #50100 I don't know just how close to this you can get with Windows now days, but are you able to do anything with the command prompt? Might it be possible to load a version of DOS from there? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 6/7/2017 6:10 PM, Jed Barton wrote: Hey guys, OK, this may seem like i'm going back to the dark ages, and OK, yeah it sure is.

Vaughan Dodd #50102 Yes: but you need to be something of an old style dos operator. There are many commands still available for assisting with system maintenance but documentation as to what those commands are and what they do is hard to find. I can recall having a persistent Outlook error which was solved by running a utility only available from the command prompt. I suspect that JFW will behave similarly to Window-Eyes - that is - no form of review or customisation. You command - and you get!

Soronel Haetir #50106 And note that if the programs are actually DOS based (that is 16-bit programs) and you are running a 64-bit version of windows you are going to have to jump through some major hoops. With 64-bit windows you can not run 16-bit programs natively, you have to use a 32-bit virtual machine. cmd.exe looks a lot like DOS but it is most definitely _not_ DOS. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 6/7/17, Vaughan Dodd <vdodd001@...> wrote: Yes: but you need to be something of an old style dos operator.

Soronel Haetir #50110 Umm, you only need an admin cmd prompt if you intend to run admin-only actions. There are plenty of things you can do with a normal-user prompt. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 6/7/17, Michelle's Home Emails <m1stevens@...> wrote: Hi there Sieghard What about command prompt to access this you will need to open it with admin privileges.

Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS) #50115 I found out years ago that some DOS programs don't run well in a DOS window, so I can't say whether or not the Motorola software will work. However, as indicated, full command capability remains. I still use it when I want something quick and easy.
