>I use a DOS 6.22 partition to run TRLog, thus avoiding any problems related

>CONFIG.SYS files with the bare minimum of entries (including no CDROM or

>Another product from the same publisher, Boot Commander, provides the same

>boot files at boot time rather than having to reboot if the proper ones
>aren't currently active. I lived with a similar setup to Doug's until I bit
>the bullet and upgraded from Windows 3.1 to 98 and found that some of my
>old stuff wouldn't run at all under Windows 98.
