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... > A DPMI 1.0 host would be nice :) 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... Rod Pemberton
