Gwbasic causes CAN NOT SHELL TO BASIC error

Author	Message
DanB #1 / 5	Gwbasic causes CAN NOT SHELL TO BASIC error Help! When I run a set of programs written in gwbasic and run on some WIN95 machines I get the following error - "Can not shell to basic". The trouble is that on some Win95 machines the same command works correctly - on others it gives the error. The machines with the exact same config.sys and autoexec.bat and msdos.sys files will yield different results. When I shell to ms-dos and run the mem command the conventional memory usage seems somewhat similar although there are some differernces. With the result being 607k available on one and 611k on the other. Any help would be appreciated.

DanB #3 / 5	Gwbasic causes CAN NOT SHELL TO BASIC error Unfortunately that is not an option. The powers that be have declared that no changes should be made to the software itself. Besides there should be an answer since it does run in WIN95 in some environments.

See if the versions of Win 95 are the same on both machines. I don't have GW-BASIC (and I'm not currently using my own machine) but the version of Window's I am using is 4.00.1111. Maybe one of the versions you have is too old. If you want to reply, please reply to

If so, does one GWBASIC program run another GWBASIC program? If so, you may have a problem with available memory, the DOS PATH, or even SHARE, depending on what the programs do. Where is GWBASIC installed? C:\DOS? C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND? Quote: >The trouble is that on some Win95 machines the same command works >correctly - on others it gives the error.
