About the full version of ROM DOS 7.10 - China DOS Union Forum

I found a file called Datalight-ROM DOS 7.10 Revision 4.11.1305-Distribution Disks.zip. It is 1.9MB in size and contains most of the tools from ROM DOS 7.1.

But strangely, the rom-dos.sys and IBMBIO.COM inside are both evaluation versions. There is also a file called ROM-DOS.exe, and this one is a release version.

After analyzing these three files, I found that the main body is the same. IBMBIO.COM is just ROM-DOS.SYS with a COM file header added, and this processing is completed automatically during the sys process.
rom-dos.exe is ROM-dos.sys with an EXE file header added. Based on this principle, I processed ROM-dOS.EXE to make a boot disk, but unexpectedly it took up too much memory. I don't know the reason.

If anyone needs it, give me some space and I'll upload it..

Files included in the archive:
ANSI.SYS ATA.SYS ATA.TXT ATTRIB.COM ATTRIB.EXE AUTOEXEC.BAT
BACKUP.EXE CHKDSK.COM CHKDSK.EXE CHOICE.COM COMMAND.COM
CONFIG.SYS COUNTRY.SYS DELTREE.EXE DISPLAY.SYS DUMP.EXE
EGA.CPI EGA3.CPI EMM386.EXE EXE2BIN.COM FDISK.COM FDISK.EXE
FIND.COM FIND.EXE FORMAT.COM HIMEM.SYS KEYB.COM KEYBOARD.SYS
KEYBRD2.SYSLABEL.COM LABEL.EXE LONGDIR.EXE MEM.EXE MODE.COM
MORE.COM MOVE.EXE MSCDEX.EXE NED.CFG NED.EXE NEDREMOT.CFG
NEDREMOT.COM POWER.EXE PRINT.COM PRINT.EXE REMDISK.EXE
REMQUIT.COM REMSERV.EXE RESTORE.EXE ROM-DOS.EXE ROM-DOS.SYS

RSZ.EXE SHARE.EXE SMARTDRV.EXE SORT.COM SORT.EXE STACKDEV.SYS

I already have this so-called “full version” (actually it isn't very complete, and many of the commands in it are rather old), and I also have the cracked IBMBIO.COM file. It was already included in that ROM-DOS 7.1 boot disk I made.

Why is it that this cracked ROM-DOS can't display help now? For example: if I enter the command del /? it says it can't find COMMAND.HLP. Is this because it is cracked? Can this problem be solved?

It's not because it is cracked, but because you don't have the COMMAND.HLP file. Just download one.

Hehe, the history of cracking goes way back.
