I am running Windows 98. When I type ver at the DOS prompt, it says 4.10.98. I tried typing help at the root dir and got bad command or file name. How can I get to DOS help? Thanks in advance if you can answer this.

4.10.98 it is the virsion of the windows u r running (me too,it is the same virsion)

No help menu in 9x versions of DOS! Yar gotta settle for typing the command then /? Or if yar got the CD copy Help.hlp from oldos directory to yar hard disk

Sorry Pirate Command ? is no good! Windows 95 & 98 CDs have the MS-DOS Help files. For the Help Files from the Windows 95 CD goto the /Other/Oldmsdos/ Directory which contains the MS-DOS Help files left out of Win95 & 98! You will find them in the /Tools/Oldmsdos/ Directory on your Win98 CD. You need 3 files to enable it to work. - HELP.COM, HELP.HLP & QBASIC.exe (plus QBASIC.HLP if you want to!) Just copy files to your C:/Windows/Command Directory and reboot for them to work. Anon

Hello Pirate you old sea dog, still up to your old tricks you old pervert!!! Got some grog for an old mattey? Sixteen men on a dead mans cheast, Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum, Give me more, and i'll tell you the rest, Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum. Old Pete the Pirate.

Is it at all possible to to repartition low level format high level format a 1.440 MB floppy disk? in other words (fdisk a:)?

Anon - yar forget "/" - to indicate a switch! Fuckme! Type the dos command, then a forward slash followed by a question mark! An to David - answer is yes. Proggie called Loformat. Post yar own message - I gotta go dig it up.
