    Could very well be. I'm still somewhat of a novice at this. Under
W95, I get an 'illegal operation' dialog box and it shuts down - under
DOS, it dumps back to the command prompt while still in some odd
graphics mode with tiny coloured garbage in the top few lines of the
screen - corruption sounds about right. <shrug> Guess the chaos theory
that I'm trying to graph is making its way into the code.
