Title: Using overlay in PCDR for DOS
Post by: thelilgeek on April 17, 2008, 03:42:09 pm

Can you set the number of passes for each overlay in the PDO file?? I have set it in PCDR & saved it 3 or 4 times with no avail.

Thelilgeek,

There is no setting in the PDO file but you can do it at the command line that calls pc-doctor with the PDO file, the switch is /pc:xx where xx is the number of passes you want.

The command line would look something like this:
PCDR.EXE /ba:3 /pc:10
This would load the overlay number 3 in pcdr.pdo and do 10 passes.

You could also add the /he switch to halt on errors as well as a bunch of others to save logs and control behavior.  Read running PC-Doctor DOS from the DOS command line in chapter 5 of the PC-Doctor Service Center 6 Users guide.  The File is:  PCDrSC6_UserGuide.pdf on your CD-ROM.  ;)
