I posted a message a few days ago about having problems when I tried
to run multiple dos windows under ms windows 3.0. The symptoms were
that in one of the open windows, I'd get a message "memory allocation
error, cannot load COMMAND, system halted". With the help of a response
from Jun Hashimoto <jun-ha@ascii.co.jp>, I have found the problem.
The problem turned out to be a TSR that I had loaded prior to starting
windows. The one in question is called "ced". This is a utility
that keeps a command history and allows command recall with the up-
arrow key. Without that loaded, the DOS apps seem to be fine (I hav
still gotten "the application has breached system integrity" a couple
of times, but that's probagbly due to misbehaved dos programs.)
Thanks, Jun, and I hope this helps anyone else experiencing similiar
problems. Watch those TSR`s when running Windows!
