Subject:       DR-DOS & Win 3.x problems

Have a problem here I just can't figure out. Since installing DR-DOS 7.02
I cannot open a DOS box in Windows For Workgroups 3.11.

I changed the config.sys every which way with no luck. When trying to
open either a 4DOS or command.com window the whole system locks up.
Reset button time. As a result of this I also can't run any DOS apps.
At one point I even tried MS' himem.sys in case the problem was emm386
related. Same problem.

This happened early on when I first installed dr-dos. After a disk
reorganize I re-installed Windows. At first a DOS box opened up
just fine several times. But the problem came back the same night.

Any tips I should know about concerning dr-dos/win3?

CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\drdos\EMM386.EXE /MULTI=OFF /DPMI=OFF AUTO /EXCLUDE=A000-C7FF,D400-

Note: Environment variables are in the file winvar. The unix file in
c:\ is just a list of aliases.
Here's winvar anyway:
