Now that I've got your attention, the problem is that Windows cannot find any of my non MS programs when I attempt to invoke them via the program manager. I've spent some time trying to get hold of MS to ask about this, but I can't get through and the $$$ are adding up. All of these programs start properly under PCDOS 3.3. Is it possible that MS didn't test dos 5.0 with windows?!!! -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: feustel@netcom.com or feustel@cvax.ipfw.indiana.edu

If the application does some strange things with memory, then Windows may kill it off, but most run just fine. -- || Jesse Chisholm | 137 East Fremont Avenue, #49 || || jesse@Altos86.Altos.COM | Sunnyvale, California || || jesse@Gumby.Altos.COM | U.S.A. 94087-2501 || || Tel INT + 1-408-432-6200x4810 | Fax INT + 1-408-434-0273 ||
