As I told you before [:-)], your package contains version 2.14
executable. So I compiled a version 2.15 from your sources.

At first time it worked fine. Then I copied fed.exe to my dos dir.
After that it won't work, because (i think so) that 
configuration file. I have saved my settings which tell
fed to open a screen with 43 lines. (if I recall right)


> If only your rebuilt version has problems

If I drive it different folder that fed.cfg is, it works
if I drive it in same folder than fed.cfg from WINDOWS
dosbox (whole screen), it works fine.
If I drive it in same dir than fed.cfg, IT CRASHES.

, can you give details of what

well latest, i believe... it's only month or couple old

Well I have laptop 486/50Mhz/250MB/20MB

and I don't know it's graphics card. It's Compaq Contura 410.

Maybe I'm satisfied with running it from windows :-)

Maybe this is same problem that I had before...

you remember, new gfx drivers wouldn't work with my machine,
only that GFX_PARADISE worked when I downloaded it
from allegro site...
