Well, it's been more than a few days, but I can now give an answer
to this, for DR-DOS 7.02+ ...

1. Created target directory for ProComm Plus.
2. Changed directory to above, on target drive.
3. From A:, tried to install - failed, but no lock-up or crash.
4. Changed to root directory on target drive.
5. From A:, tried again to install - success!

So, this doesn't seem to be a DR-DOS issue - there must be
some other factor - hardware or TSR's or something ...

Joe.
