subject: Watcom prog. on SLC mach

I had the (dubious) privilege of writing a 'quicky' demo of an app so
a customer could show it on Win 3.1 machines.  All was well - until it
hit a shop with IBM PS/2's.  The closest I can recall they were model
56's??? but don't hold me to that.  They were definitely SLC's - no
mathco - and they all froze solid during the program setup.  This
blasted demo runs on everything we throw it at except this.  Used
Watcom 10.0a, default math setup parms. 16 bit Win executable, 386 code
option.  App never even displays the initial window on the PS/2's.  Can
I be freezing the machine by testing for a non-existant mathco?  Shop's
DP folks assure me it's a mca machine, so could this combo be the
problem?  If so, what's the safest compile setup for this potential
problem?  Damn, I quit writing Windows programs about the time 3.1 came
out - now I know why!
