     You wrongly understand me.

1. I can't stub any program because STUBIT freezes before even says anything
on the screen (whereas STUBIT itself is an stubbed executable).

2. I try to restub program which already stubbed by dos4gw, but see topic 1.

3. When I say "I don't use any compiler beside BC++ 3.1 and TASM" I answer
to your note "then it might be possible to fix STUBIT just by recompiling it
with a different compiler" - I mean, I can't recompile STUBIT.
