EMU.DOC - Installing ConIX under CP/M Emulators ----------------------------------------------- The version of the ConIX Operating System provided on the distribution diskette was designed to function optimally under the CP/M version 2.2 operating system. If you are installing ConIX under a CP/M emulator (i.e. a non-Digital Research Operating System), there are a few general steps you should follow. INSTALL.COM - This program will install ConIX on your system. Emulator users will probably have to disable at least BDOS error vector patching in order to get ConIX to work at all. You will probably also have to disable the ExpanDisk feature or BIOS patching entirely. What must be disabled varies from system to system depending upon the extent that the emulator you are using actually resembles CP/M 2.2. There is, unfortunately no scientific way of knowing what can be left enabled and what should be disabled. Only trial and error will tell for sure. EMUFIX.XCC/COM - Some implementations of CP/M 2.2 emulators might cause trouble as far as BDOS error messages and warm boots (^C) are concerned. The symptom is flakey operation or a downright system crash after a CP/M BDOS disk error message is printed or after the user or an application program warm boots. If this happens, you'll have to run EMUFIX each time ConIX is cold loaded into your system. The best way to do this is to use MENU to set a program to execute automatically when PROFILE finishes setting the system configurations. The command [J] EMUFIX should do fine. If you are already executing another Command Language program, execute EMUFIX from within it.
