[01:17:27] <rue_house> hi
[01:18:03] <^kat^> lo
[01:18:19] <rue_house> look! were emulating a 555!
[01:18:58] <rue_house> kat, back in the day I was able to manipulate 3.1 to take some '95 stuff it wasn't supposed to by poking with thing I wasn't supoosed to
[01:19:00] <rue_house> can you dot hat?
[01:19:06] <rue_house> er, do that?
[01:19:35] <^kat^> i didn't try, when i powered up win95b, i left 3.xx way behind
[01:19:59] <^kat^> i could make win95 use a win3.x desktop manager tho
[01:20:01] <rue_house> I mean with xp to think its something else
[01:20:09] <rue_house> I think most of the magic was with setver
[01:20:49] <^kat^> i can drop to dos console and talk to Tiggr, without launching any app, does that count?
[01:21:02] <rue_house> I used to suppliment explorer with taskman alot up to xp when a machine got a virus, because all the viri required explorer to start
[01:21:27] <^kat^> and java/script
[01:21:44] <rue_house> iirc the idea with setver was to make programs think they were running on something they weren't, be it newer or older
[01:22:03] <^kat^> i tried to launch the Melissa virus once, got a pop up saying i needed to contact M$ for the runtime files
[01:22:17] <rue_house> hehe
[01:22:53] <^kat^> there were also ,,, i forget the words, to rename drives to whatever you wanted to each app
[01:23:52] <rue_house> oh, uh, I barely just cant recall the name
[01:23:59] <rue_house> the drive mapper
[01:24:03] <^kat^> yeas
[01:24:28] <^kat^> pick any dir, rename it to a drive letter
[01:25:06] <^kat^> assign
[01:25:22] <rue_house> subst?
[01:25:28] <^kat^> yeas
[01:26:51] <rue_house> ARG its 11 again!
[01:26:55] <rue_house> damnit, gnight
[01:26:55] <^kat^> ASSIGN
[01:26:55] <^kat^> Further information: Drive letter assignment
[01:26:55] <^kat^> The command redirects requests for disk operations on one drive to a different drive. It can also display drive assignments or reset all drive letters to their original assignments. The command is available in MS-DOS 5.00.
[01:27:15] <^kat^> SUBST
[01:27:15] <^kat^> Main article: SUBST
[01:27:15] <^kat^> A utility to map a subdirectory to a drive letter.[3] The opposite can be achieved via the JOIN command.
[01:27:22] <^kat^> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DOS_commands#SUBST
[01:27:33] <^kat^> all those neat things you cannot dow in winblows
[01:28:09] * ^kat^ wrote a drive cache as a tsr
[01:28:29] <^kat^> so as long as it was the last on the trs chain, i could unload it
[01:30:10] <^kat^> i still use ansi.sys and findstr and title and such things a lot
[01:30:30] <^kat^> altho ansi.sys got merged into dos kernal in winxp
[01:41:26] <rue_bed> cool
[01:41:55] <rue_bed> what was ansi.sys about?
[01:42:00] <rue_bed> dont recall that one
[01:43:57] <^kat^> key macros, colors
[01:44:04] <^kat^> i think it did sounds too
[01:44:26] <^kat^> and of course, it did ansi codes, vs native ascii codes
[01:44:55] <^kat^> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansi.sys
