I just verified this. Look at the function at 014:11f7 in setup.exe. It pushes the string "winexec" and "krnl386.exe" among other things (including a pointer that a return code is written to), and then calls a functino, which I guess does some sprintf and tries to exec the string. if it fails, it pushes a string "winexec" "dosx.exe" and calls the same function. if that fails, it exits the caller func then. What is this "winexec" and does it exist in a normall installation after the first (DOS-based) portion is complete? It doesn't exist in mine, installed through dosemu. BTW, WFW only runs in enhanced mode, correct? Why would it need dosx.exe in that case ? Does dosx.exe starting WFW cause it to run in enhanced mode anyway? ---- OT: I start up my favorite code viewer, and I get the following: http://dbz.icequake.net/share/dosemu-ida.png I Was using a default 1.1.5.7 config with very few thins uncommented. Apparently $_X_font = "vga" is necessary to be uncommented for this to work right (which it does after uncommenting that), but I thought "vga" was the default font to use under X if it is available? At least, I don't remember having to set that option before, but my memory may be wrong. -- Ryan Underwood, , icq=10317253
