I can try that.

I'll try that first.  Likely indicates a programming error of some sort.

Something is not done properly from a programming, maybe timing standpoint.
I thought my PC lost two minutes by running your TSR, but I'll have to
double check.

The TSR will probably have problems with other PM applications written using
another DPMI host, i.e., you've loaded your TSR and run an PM OW
application.  They don't work well together...

DPMIONE, formerly 386MAX, is the most complete DPMI 1.0 host.  It doesn't
support the TSR functions.  I believe that CWSDPMI, CWSDPR0, and PMODETSR
are the only DPMI hosts for DJGPP.

I tried posting the file as a .UUE.  I thought it was well below the file
size limits, but it never got posted...  It could've been to big or perhaps
a spam filter got to it.  Otherwise, I could send you the MD5 or filesize?
Don't know what use that'd be...
