The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN for MS-DOS, version 5.1
- Microsoft FORTRAN for OS/2, version 5.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The Setup program that comes with Microsoft FORTRAN version 5.10 may not
copy HIMEM.SYS, SMARTDRV.SYS or RAMDRIVE.SYS if a version of these devices
is found in the directory path specified in the COMSPEC environment
variable. However, the file NEW-CONF.SYS created by Setup still reflects
these device drivers to be in the FORTRAN real mode executable directory
(i.e. \FORTRAN\BINR)
This problem was only duplicated when running Setup from the MS-DOS
compatability box under OS/2.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN version 5.1. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
This is not an issue with FORTRAN PowerStation.
