SUMMARY
An advanced component in NTFSDOS Professional 4.0 and in later versions lets you run it together with DOS applications that use the DOS/4G memory extender.

Note NTFSDOS Professional is a component of Winternals Administrator's Pak.



MORE INFORMATION
When you create an NTFSDOS Professional floppy disk by using the default options, you cannot run NTFSDOS Professional together with the DOS/4G memory extender. Therefore, create the NTFSDOS Professional floppy disk by clicking Use alternate version of NTFSPRO.EXE in the Advanced menu.

After you create the NTFSDOS Professional floppy disk and start the computer in DOS, this version of NTFSDOS Professional can only spawn another process. This version does not run as a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program. To spawn a process by using NTFSDOS Professional support, type the following command:

NTFSPro.exe &quot;/s &quot;

Note To use switches and parameters together with the executable file, type them inside the quotation marks.

For example, you can use the following commands to run NTFSDOS Professional with other applications:
 * NTFSPro.exe /pc:\w2ksp2 &quot;/sc:\scanpm.exe /adl /all /sub&quot;

This command loads NTFSDOS Professional, supports files from C:\W2ksp2, and starts &quot;McAfee VirusScan for DOS.&quot; McAfee VirusScan then scans all files and subdirectories on all local drives.
 * NTFSPro.exe &quot;/sm:\sweep.exe c: -all -ns&quot;

This command starts &quot;Sophos AntiVirus for DOS.&quot; Sophos AntiVirus performs a verbose scan of all files on the C drive.

The option to spawn a process is not limited to the DOS/4G version of NTFSDOS Professional. You can also spawn a process by using the default version of NTFSDOS Professional.
