China DOS Union

Regarding the MiniWin boot disk that Roy made, I removed the "LH" from the line "LH XMSDSK..." in WIN.BAT, and then it could boot MiniWin normally (otherwise, it would freeze; for the specific reason, please refer to the post I made in the "China DOS Union Boot Disk Project".

However, Michael's name is everywhere in the entire boot disk. I think that as the China DOS Union boot disk, we'd better not modify it based on someone else's work. The MiniWin 3.11 boot disk I made last time (using MS-DOS 7.10 + MiniWFW 3.11) only referred to the MiniWin boot disk, and the other contents in the boot disk were all made by myself. But I found that Roy's WIN.BAT file has many characteristics, and I will directly move it in and use it.

I will quickly make major modifications and then upload it here. Everyone is welcome to put forward opinions!

I have made a lot of modifications to the last MiniWin3.x boot disk I made, and added some content from files like WIN.BAT made by Roy, and made it the latest MiniWin boot disk. Now I upload it:

Note: Try not to specify the drive letter of the RAM disk. Otherwise, if there is already an X drive, then XMSDSK won't succeed. So in the above MiniWin, I still let it automatically specify the drive letter.

Hehe... Let's take a look at Master wengier's masterpiece... Maybe steal something... Hehe...

Found a bug. If you take out the floppy disk after entering miniwin and then exit miniwin, the annoying "Not ready reading drive A Abort, Retry, Fail?" message appears.......

Wengier, you can still try my that MiniWin again...

There are also some improvement suggestions:
In the part of :writeprotect:
cls
echo Error!!
echo.
echo The Diskette in the drive is write-protected.
choice /cyn /n Press Y if ready,press N if you want to abandon...
if errorlevel 2 goto quit
if errorlevel 1 goto disk
And the part of echo Saving system settings to the disk...
echo Please insert the MiniWindows Diskette and press Enter when ready...
Pause > nul
dready a:
if errorlevel 2 goto loop
goto continue can be completed with wbat.

Hmm, that's right, I also thought about using WBAT instead of CHOICE. But in order to respect ROY's research results, I didn't modify this passage. But since ROY has agreed, then I'll go and modify it!

Okay, I'll go and take a look and fix that bug!

I don't mind, as long as the source is noted.

The following is the speech of Wengier on 2003-5-16 6:38:48:
Regarding the MiniWin boot disk made by Roy, I can start MiniWin normally by removing the "LH" in the line "LH XMSDSK ..." in WIN.BAT (otherwise it will crash, for the specific reason, please refer to the post I made in "China DOS Union Boot Disk Project".

This I just can't figure it out......
I tried it on my machine and in VPC but couldn't.

The content of my post is as follows:

Regarding the issue of XMSDSK, I want to say something. For that 11KB XMSDSK compressed by aPack, must not load it with the LH command in front! Otherwise, when the free UMB memory is less than 64KB, the XMSDSK will crash completely when loading! According to my research, I found that this is a bug of aPack, and all files compressed by it (XMSDSK is certainly no exception) will have this situation! In fact, there is no need to load XMSDSK with the LH command, because XMSDSK will automatically put itself into the UMB memory. Therefore, just use "XMSDSK", and "LH XMSDSK" is a bit redundant.

Another thing: I marked "By China DOS Union, Wengier and Roy" on this latest MiniWin boot disk!

Wengier, use the above USER.EXE, the about dialog will be a bit nicer!

Looking forward to the official version...

Really interesting! It seems I can add more "China DOS Union" logos! In addition, I can make a boot logo for DD and others, with words like "China DOS Union" on it.
