Good Luck!  I emailed Ray Gwinn asking what it is that VIEWPMLM.EXE does
to the video mode and never received a response.

Viewpmlm will run once in a full screen session, then I get SYS 1811 on
all subsequent attempts to run it in the same process.

Also, I was wondering, since I run in 80x34 mode, why after I run
VIEWPMLM.EXE and then run Watchcat v2.1, Watchcat will use the current
video mode (80x34), instead of forcing 80x25 mode.

Any ideas what VIEWPMLM does to the video mode?

btw, I use mode2 by Peter Fitzsimmons, not OS/2's mode.  Doesn't seem to
make any difference to Viewpmlm or Watchcat, though.
