Hello,

I am trying to find a way to use Allocconsole and open a DOS session
using the the extra parameters in a pif file like memory settings.

when I try to launch the PIF using create process I am getting an
error message

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
and get the Close Ignore buttons.

If I use CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE in the creation flags, ofcourse everything
works,
but it is open in a new window. in the allocated console window I
always get this GPF.

I can change _default.pif and just execute cmd.exe but I do not want
to be dependant on _default.pif because of multiple executions issue.
_default.pif is is hardcoded into ntvdm.exe.
How can I allocconsole, run CMD with PIF settings ? and no
_default.pif?

Help ?

Thanksfor your time,

Ran.
