It took an "all-nighter" to get it going. :-(

I extracted the original PMMERGE.DLL from the DISK 8 of the distribution CD,
and replaced the copy on my drive.

I also obtained a fresh copy of the XR_M012.1DK from IBM's FTP site.

I deleted all remants of the suspended FP application, and tried it again.

Whooooopeeeee! 

Warp 3 was never this difficult.
