Hmmm ...
The reason why I ask if the stubbed executable works on
your PC setup is :
If it does work, then it might be possible to fix STUBIT just by
recompiling it with a different compiler, else you can manually
stub some types of executables using the "COPY /B" method.
If it does not work, then the problem is more serious, and I'm
afraid I don't have the expertise to fix DOS extenders. :-(
Also, if the stubbed executable doesn't work on your PC setup,
it is something we should know. Otherwise we may be creating
DOS app's which won't run on some PC's (ie. yours). In other
words, this something other DOS developers on this list should
know about.
