OK, this sounds more like a problem with DOS4GW to me.  What CPU are you
using?  Exception #6 is Invalid Opcode, from memory.  Strange.  WIMM does
very little when you run it with the -h switch.

What version of DOS are you running it under, and do you have SHARE.EXE loaded?

It should just print thism, then exit:

E:\WIMM>wimm -h
