Subject: [opendos] and Windows..... OpenDOS.386, uk keymap, cd-rom drives?

Well, OpenDOS has mostly setted down now, but there are still a few things
bugging me.

1.  Windows 3.11 has begun acting strangely.  I have noticed a file in c:\
    called OPENDOS.386, which to my mind, could be a driver to boost
    compatibility with OD.  Is this true?  If so, how should I install it?

2.  I am now pretty sure that the UK keymap is corrupted.  Both keypad 7 and
    the HOME key fail to work under Ultima 6, allthough 7 does print a 7
    from the dos prompt.  All the other keypad keys work.

3.  Windows crashes if I have a DOS session and use the Cd-ROM drive
    simultaneously, via media player.  I am using corelcdx.
    I can use the cd-rom drive via a DOS program, though.
    Out of interest, I tried using NWcdex, but windows refused to acknowledge
    the drive at all.

Any ideas?
