I could not get the new version of Compushow to execute. Everything extracted from the ZIP file okay, no errors, but the executable just hung up without any output. Any help would be appreciated. Eric W. Ziegenfus

The doc file says that CShow may not be able to determine your video display type and you may have to specify that it use generic VGA (if that is your display type) in order to prevent it from attempting to do SuperVGA extentions that your board may not support. It also says that you can pick the correct display driver and rename it to VIDEO.DRV and CShow will use it. Also see the notes about where in the PATH this should be placed, and about an environment variable that can be used to define its location. The author of CShow is reachable via e-mail. The address is: 76555.167@compuserve.com (Bob Berry) CShow 8.30a works fine on my system. Please remember that this new version will attempt to use EMS memory if it's available. You may have a problem with memory conflicts. See the docs for futher details.

Try to isolate the conditions when the problem occurs. For example do you use an EMS dirver, etc, etc. These hangups (pardon the pun) are not necessarily surprising with programs that try and do utilize special properties of the PC. If you stay stuck, use an older version (we have one restored in the /pc/goldies directory). ...................................................................
