Hallo Ted, 

 KM>> the only "help" I can give is: get a prog that's
running under W9x.

 TM> That, ofcourse, doesn't entirely solve the problem, since the mentioned

Then replace them all. If they are using such a propriatary method to get
their mem, they are already dead anyway. All those distortions you have to
go through to give a DOS prog the needed mem are gone under W9x (or other
32bit UIs). If you then replace other heritage progs using obsolete EMS you
have only XMS and a practically flat memory for all your apps. Does wonders
for stability.

 TM> (Shit... I'm getting used to the Windows-method for deleting blocks of
 TM> text. And that method doesn't work in dos-based GoldEd ;-))

Quite to the contrary, insist that all your progs use that method. It's
better for your productivity. Even 4DOS has started to adopt W9x standards
(;-) to be OT).
