Do I sense anothe vi-liker?  Although I use VIM on all three platforms
(OSF/1, Linux and DOS)...

Well, OpenDOS's one had serious problems at first, I'm not sure if they've
been fixed.  And early QEMM's DPMI server wasn't that good either (but
QEMM 8 is fine, even under DesqView with 8 or 9 DOS sessions doing
pre-emptive multitasking).  If the OS software is broken, you can't
expect applications to work.

Note that the DPMI server supplied with the DJGPP stuff will only be
installed if no DPMI server is detected - it doesn't know about broken
ones...

That can't be the time, and it seems an unlikely temperature.  ?

(But are the dead grateful?)
