Well, I have tried to fault it here under native DOS, but so far with no
luck.  Consequently, I've crashed it to Noel and David already, and with a
bit of luck, they'll see fit to try it themselves.  Did you know that this
one no longer displays free DOS memory on the Area line, BTW?  Anyway, I'll
await further feedback from Dave and Noel before pronouncing it 100% fixed.

That'll run an absolute treat on XTs and 286s, I don't think.  |-)
