Yeah, I don't really know (I'm sure you caught that I was 
forwarding somebody else's message).  I also am using DOSemu (with 
FreeDOS) under Slack64 and haven't had problems.  But I think this 
issue only shows itself with certain doors/programs.  Frank was 
having trouble with a particular door he was trying to get going.

Yes, agreed on that.  It can be a cantankerous b**ch...

I'm just using the latest available from SBo...  :-)
