SUMMARY

The Compaq plasma display requires the MONO.INI file for MS-DOS Shell; typically the MS-DOS 5 and 6 Upgrades use the EGA.INI file instead.

MORE INFORMATION

Do the following to install the MONO.INI file:

    Insert the disk that has the file named EXPAND.EXE into a floppy disk drive (for example, drive A).
    Type the following (assuming that DOS is the directory containing the MS-DOS files):

    copy a:expand.exe c:\dos


    Move to the DOS directory by typing:

    cd\
    cd dos


    Insert the Upgrade disk that has the file named MONO.IN_ into a floppy disk drive (for example, drive A).
    Type the following:

    expand a:\MONO.IN_ c:\dos\DOSSHELL.INI


    Then type:

    expand a:\MONO.GR_ c:\dos\DOSSHELL.GRB
