I'm running ISC 2.2 and vpix 1.02. If I try to execute a DOS
command from the UNIX command prompt, I get the following error message:
Cannot open file for saving virtual PC state
I get this message after I see the vpix startup messages. I then
get put back at my UNIX prompt.
Anyone know what file it is having trouble writing? Not that I
issue a lot of DOS commands from the UNIX prompt, but once in a
while I'd like to be able to do this. Thanks for any help.

I seem to recall having a problem like this and found that uninstalling
and then reinstalling VPix made the problem go away.
