Hello Doug!

Did you try setting the DPMI_DOS_API to Enabled, instead of to Auto. This
is a common problem under OS/2. (Borland doesn't support OS/2, OS/2 doesn't
support Borland... :-( 
 DG> They have sent me a short routine that merely allocates a

No there are no small changes possible for this, Borland just uses some
other ID-numbers for their exes, has a slightly different explanation of
the DPMI-standard, etc. this all together makes Borland incompatible with
OS/2-DPMI and earlier versions of Quarterdeck-DPMI.... Nothing to do about
it.
 DG>     Any help would be appreciated in tracking this down!
I hope that this is really the problem, since I haven't had any at my system!

CU,

Erik/2
