download DOSIDLE.EXE??

The link www.vmware.com/software/dosidle210.zip to download the dosidle.exe program appears to be broken.  Does anyone know where I can download this program?

I don't know what to tell you.  The link is working fine for me.

 

You're welcome to try the version I just downloaded and put it on a web server for you to try.

Re: download DOSIDLE.EXE??

Sorry, I don't know what that's all about.  I haven't used DOSIDLE.

 

Sounds vaguely familiar with the issue of running an MS-DOS utility while a different version of the MS-DOS command interpreter is loaded (ie what version of DOS you booted from).  The workaround for this was to load a device driver in CONFIG.SYS (or was it AUTOEXEC.BAT?) called SETVER which would somehow set up a version table that allowed newer and older versions of MS-DOS utilities to be compatible with that of the version of COMMAND.COM currently in memory that the machine was booted with.

 

I could be WAAAAAAY off on this one though.
