We have MicroTeX version 1.5 (originally from Addison-Wesley, now of Arbortex). We have successfully used this on many machines including the Zenith Z-241 and Z-248, both AT compatible machines. But we have encountered problems on the Z-286, also an AT compatible. Environment: MS-DOS 3.21 The VER command gives: IBM Personal Computer DOS Version 3.21 config.sys has only a files and buffers command autoexec.bat has only a path command 640K memory Running any supplied .EXE file (TEX, INITEX, BIBTEX) gives the following error on the Z-286: MicroTeX Version 1.5A1 Copyright (c) 1986 by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc. MicroTeX: Can't open overlay file <garbage> MicroTeX: Overlay trouble The <garbage> is a collection of printable/non-printable characters which seem to be the same for each program. We have never gotten this error message on any other machine. We have ordered the upgrade for MicroTeX from Arbortex, but in the meantime we would sure like to solve this problem. If anyone has run into this before I would appreciate your help. Mark Roth arpa: mroth@afit.af.mil or mroth@afit.arpa
