Eli and John,

I have tried increasing the memory allocated for DPMI but that made no
difference. I also brought my version from work (that runs fine on an NT machine)
on a CD-R and it would not run either.

I enclose the output from a run stoped with cnrl-break (as you have asked, Eli).

Thanks for your help,

Noam Arbel
