    You don't need that file extension on output.  All you need is
    output...doing so will result in a log file called output.#1# but I had to
    @shutdown to get it to create that one first.

    I am still experimenting, but I figured out some of the weirdness.  If you
    want the minimal.db and don't already have it you can get it (ftp) from
    either freak.org/pub/msdos/moo or the-b.org/pub/msdos/moo and get the msdos
    zipped file and unzip it...the minimal.db is part of that.  That will take a
    while to build up to a respectable database though, since there are only
    four objects and four verbs in it.  If you want lambdacore (and I would
    suggest that you get that, trust me) I found an uncompressed lambdacore from
    10/94 (it is 1.9 megs so be ready) at parcftp.xerox.com/pub/MOO  that can be
    used as is.  You will want the one with the .db extension not the .db.z
    extension (unless you have the facilities to uncompress it).  Once you have
    the one you want you will need to do the following at the dos prompt from
    the directory where you put all of this stuff:

    msdosmoo <input.db> dumpfile

    where input.db is subbed with either minimal.db or lamdaco.db (DOS cuts it
    off like that).  That will kick it into gear for you and you will get the
    opening that instructs you to connect as wizard.  I would suggest that you
    @shutdown after making a few changes, since DOSMOO doesn't seem to
    checkpoint, and that will create the database dumpfile.#1# for you the first
    time (this will save your changes there).  After that you can manually dump
    the database anytime you wish.  Hope this helps...I would love to hear about
    DOSMOO experiences you (or anyone else) come across.
