 JdBP> Do you actually have a program called IBMCACHE.COM on your machine ? 
       No I can find no such program on my hard drive.
 JdBP> No such program comes as part of OS/2 Warp 4, and I suspect that you

 JdBP> PC-DOS or perhaps a third party cacheing program whenever you try to

 JdBP> script, by any chance ? 
       No I'm not, this problem occurs when starting Borland from the vdm
       command line as well.
       I've never owned pc-dos or any third party caching program just
       ms-dos 5 & 6.2
 JdBP> A tip that may help:  It is a bad idea to include C:\DOS in the PATH
 JdBP> set by the AUTOEXEC.BAT used for OS/2 Virtual DOS Machines. 
       I have checked the autoexec and C:\dos is not included, but c:\windows
       is.
       I did reinstall the Warp4 upgrade on a free partition without first
       reinstalling Warp3 on the same partition. Is that a bad idea !?!
       Thanks JdBP
       Glenn.
