Oggetto: Which DOS driver?
Data: mercoledl 13 novembre 1996 12.38
I tried to use OgoText to run DOS on my Ogo.
But I can not type these characters: backslash "\" and colon ":"
These characters are (of course) very important to use command line.
Shift + . (it is ":" in geos) writes ">"
Fn + 2 (it is "\" in geos) does nothing.
Any idea?
Which DOS driver is best for Ogo, any experiences?
Thanks for answers.

It's quite a few days that I'm using this configuration for having a proper
DOS-like interface on my OGO, I use 2 nice programs that, needless to say,
I found thanks to this forum:
N0 1 OGTEXT.COM by Jan Sedlak;
N0 2 OMNISWP.EXE by Frits Klok.
just copy it in your OGO root (b:\) with OMNICOM then edit your OGO
autoexec.bat simply "remming" the GEOS lines:
rem cd geoworks
rem geos
and adding the following two lines:
ogtext.com
omniswp i
then I made another SILLY batch called GO.BAT that simply removes omniswap
from memory (BEWARE IT'S A MUST!!!!!) and launches GEOS:
@echo off
b:
cd\
omniswp r
geos.bat
So with this two BATCH files in your OGO root, you REBoot and opla' you are
in real (almost DOS) when you need to run geos (i.e. when you want to turn
off, for example!) run GO and... that's all folks!
By the way I think this way is far better than complex GPK FILES and
everything 'cause it's much less fussy: you want DOS: --->Reboot
you want GEOS: ---> type GO
By the way I attached the two batches so if you don't need to edit the
Autoexec in a peculiar way you can just copy the two in your root. YOU NEED
STILL OGTEXT and OMNISWP!
Bye Bye
