-
- One typical way to provoke it is to run Mod4Win, and repeatedly minimize
- and maximize it. After doing this a couple of times the GUI of M4W becomes
- corrupt, as does sometimes icons on the screen. This did not happen before I
- installed the Win95 software, and I know that others have had similar
- problems with corrupted icons, and that diamond is aware of it.

-
- All of the above, actually. Hasn't happened with beta6 yet, though.

-

-
- You've NEVER seen anything like that with NetScape?!

-
- It is today five days since I sent them, and they have not bounced. I will
- resend them today, and if you wish I can post them too. Atleast then you
- will not be able to deny receiving them.
-
- The question, as you may recall, was 'how do I get more conventional
- RAM upon exit to DOS'. I finally solved it. It'll be real interesting to
- see if you do.
