Hopefully, there are lots of sharewares that do the job quite well. The best I know, and the one I use, is ConEd. You may find it on Simtel20, in the directory. I've forgotten the archive name. It does exactly what you expect, and allows a short description (40 chars) of the configuration. It is menu-driven, very nice, and can be installed in your AUTOEXEC, or be called when you want to change your configuration. >If such a program does not exist, I'd like some hints on writing .sys >drivers--I really don't know where to start. I don't understand why you want to put it in your CONFIG.SYS.... There is one commercial program that does that (which one ??). Anyway, to write some device drivers, you may find usefull hints on simtel20 (still the same - thanks Keith !) in the directory, I would propose the _Technical Reference_ from Dave Williams, the archive file is called something like 1216REF if I remember well. >Thanks!
