I need help. I got pc omega, de-arc'ed it, downloaded it to my PC, and
modified the configuration file to correspond to the machine I have. OK.
Then, when I try to execute it, it says "Program too big for memory"!
This is a true-blue IBM PC/AT with 640Kb + 1 Mb of extended memory. What's
the deal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We did not receive part 7. could you please either mail or repost it? As to the problem about it not fitting in memory...did you try booting without any resident programs?

In addition, if you set up an incredibly large number of buffers in your config.sys, this could also use up significant amounts of memory. -- Nathan Glasser fnord nathan@{mit-eddie.uucp, xx.lcs.mit.edu} "A tribble is the only love that money can buy."
