I am trying to get BC to run under Windows, and it works fine, except when I do File | Get Info it says that it is not using either XMs or EMS....SO....this is a problem. Program Item: Runs BC.PIF BC.PIF: Runs BC.EXE Optional Parameters: /e (I've tried /x also) file.prj Advanced Options: EMS Required: 2048 Maximum: 2048 XMS "" : 0 "": 0 It runs just fine, but it won't let me use EMS or XMS!! I have tried swapping /e and /x, EMS and XMS params, etc. but to no avail. I am running QEMM with the following switches: device=QEMM.SYS NOSH NOEMS ROM RAM Does that NOEMS matter? I thought it shouldn't since Windows will configure available memory as EMs for any application that wants it, right? Brian

Has anyone gotten BC or BCC to work in a window in Enhanced mode without crashing other windows? If I open two windows, then run BC or BCC in one, the second window will crash when I switch to it and try to enter a command. This happens to me every time one two different machines. If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know so I can contact Borland's Tech support line. -Michael Tinglof tinglof@hdlite.dec.com
