************  Notes on running UCS software under DR-DOS 6.0 ***************

UCS software runs on an MS-DOS compatible machine in conjunction with a 
special operating environment provided by GRiD systems.  

The Grid operating environment does not support DR-DOS.

However, some customers have run similar software under DR-DOS 6.0.

It is NOT recommended that you try this (find an MS-DOS machine instead),
but if you must run under DR-DOS 6.0, I have provided a dump of some
startup files that have worked for some customers:

    (autoexec.bat)
    Path=c:\DRDOS
    Verify off
    Prompt [DR-DOS] $p$g
    Set temp=c:\TEMP
    IF NOT "%TEMP%"=="" MD %TEMP% >NUL
    MEMMAX -U >NUL

    (config.sys)
    SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /P /E:1256
    BREAK=OFF
    HIBUFFERS=20
    FILES=30
    FCBS=2,2
    FASTOPEN=0
    LASTDRIVE=E
    HISTORY=OFF
    COUNTRY=001,,C:\DRDOS\COUNTRY.SYS
    HIDOS=ON
    ?"Load Memory MAX software(Y/N)" DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\EMM.SYS
        /F=AUTO /K=3072 /E=FFFF /R=AUTO

    (If you have low-memory problems, you can try reserving memory for
    the Grid APIs when they are loaded by adding the "/M=100" switch to
    the appropriate "go" batch file.  This number is just a guess that
    has worked for some customers - a different number might be better
    for you.)

Once again, DR-DOS is not supported and the above guide may not work.

See the file "readme.txt" for general instructions on running UCS software.
