SYMPTOMS

After installing Windows 95 on a computer running Btrieve, DaVinci Mail, or Microcom Carbon Copy, several terminate-and-stay-resident programs (TSRs) no longer appear in the Autoexec.bat file.

Your programs still function properly and the TSRs load into memory.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows 95 moves the following TSRs to the Winstart.bat file:

Btrieve:

   Brequest.exe

DaVinci Mail:

   Mhsblink
   Mhsalarm.exe
   Wks_nb.exe

Microcom Carbon Copy:

   Doshost.exe
   Dosker

The Winstart.bat file is used to load TSRs that are required for Windows- based programs and are not needed in MS-DOS sessions. You should not use the Winstart.bat file for setting environment variables.
